ReplyDeleteMany thanks
I'm not sure I can keep reading. It's so sad. Is MY going to break/abandon the 3 of them? Doesn't he realise that he'll be truly alone then? How can he continue when he knows that Feng Ping is not truthful? That Jiang Sangyi and the Empress constantly scheme? I can't.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why?!?? Why must these things(deaths) happen... Murong Yan, my 90% hate for you had now become 95%...
ReplyDeleteIt's not sad anymore for me. Now I'm just happy everyone can stop pretending. Zuo was living a lie before. This is real
