Back then, when Anning was taken to the temple to practice and her days were unspeakably miserable, Xue He was her glimmer of light in the dark times.
At that time, Mr. Xue who protected Xue He had already passed away, and Xue He was taken by his family to live in a separate courtyard in the mountains.
His days were also very hard, but perhaps because he was a little slow to respond, he seemed to find joy in his own way.
Later, when Anning met Xue He, the two of them clung to each other for warmth. When Anning was hungry, Xue He would save his own food for her and keep her company to alleviate her boredom.
Others called Xue He a fool, but Anning never thought him foolish.
He simply didn't overthink like others and wasn't as quick to react.
At that time, Anning was scorned by everyone, criticized for being shameless, a Princess stealing someone else's husband, accused of losing the face of the Royal Family.
But Xue He really liked her, and even said he wanted to marry her.
