Sighing, I drummed my fingers on the table as I began to think about what I needed to do when I returned home.
From here on out, Li Yichen and I would be married for hundreds, if not thousands of years, so I would prefer a rather peaceful home, but...
Could I make one with what's happened?
It was me being selfish, but I had seen what other homes had looked like, what other families looked like.
I didn't care to deal with the terrible fights for successions that those families had, nor did I want to just... have dozens of children who may or may not plot to stab me in the back just for a position of power.
What I had cultivated was mine and mine alone, and I wasn't going to just give it away to whomever comes after me.
No, they would need to earn it.
Li Yue, if she decided she wanted to remain my heir, would need to earn that spot through arduous cultivation and peerless skills.
