The Hua Family of Lin'an was a mystery, and Hua Yan was a deeper mystery within.
Yun Chi could neither see through nor decipher the things hidden at the bottom of Hua Yan's heart, or perhaps within her soul, but that did not prevent him from understanding her. He felt that Hua Yan was a person who was very simple and yet contradictory in a complicated way, but this simplicity and complexity made her very charming, like a poisonous herb that, once touched, would enter the heart and spleen without any antidote.
Ever since he could remember, he had been taught how to be a good Crown Prince and how to be a good Emperor in the future. In the nearly twenty years he had walked his path, standing loyally in the storm of power, he had seen many people of all shapes and colors. Some were respectful, some cautious, some abject, some fearful... but none were like Hua Yan.
