When he was melancholic and desolate, he realized that the seeds of emotion had long been sown. Laughably, he always thought he could control these feelings at will, but ultimately he miscalculated, forgetting to account for his true heart.
From then on, the person from his past whom he had sought for years remained elusive. Shortly after her departure from the capital, the Empress suffered from a 'strange illness' and fell into a coma, the Ninth Princess went mad, and the capital faced a major reshuffling. It was a time of bloody chaos, with many executed and homes ransacked.

"Master, Xiao Yi is here."
