Ning Zhaozong never thought he would see his daughter again.
After all, she was the young Crown Prince he had personally raised, how could he not recognize her?
Just a glance, and he knew his daughter had come back to see him.
Zhaozong was genuinely happy, from the bottom of his heart.
No matter if his daughter still held the title of Princess Yongning, as long as she was alive and well, it was enough.
The world called him cold-blooded, including his father and brother.
But Zhaozong was always clear-headed, he knew where his true feelings should go.
Certainly not to the muddle-headed former emperor, nor to the pleasure-seeking previous Crown Prince.
But heaven was indeed cruel to him, his wife, whom he married by his own hand, breathed her last after giving birth to their daughter during the palace upheaval.
Seventeen years later, his daughter was also gone.
A lonely man, that's what he was.
