Fu Huaichu's hand caressed her spine, his tone unhurried, "I saw massive pieces of broken walls and ruins, the entire Su Family village turned to char by a great fire, burnt to ash.

At this moment, his voice had returned to calm, but only he knew that when he had seen this scene, his heart was almost completely shattered.
Fu Huaichu never wanted to recall this feeling a second time, even now, when he thought of it, and even though she was in his arms, he still felt a lingering fear.
As the Crown Prince of the Wang Dynasty, a future Emperor, he was actually afraid of not being able to find a mere girl.
