Compared to the first, for the sake of a woman, it's obviously the latter that's more credible.
Women are indeed important in current times, but not to the extent of giving up an empire, let alone risking life and death over them.
Even for someone of peerless beauty, it's not worth it.
Moreover, some say that with Xiang Qianqiu's defeat and demise this time, he will certainly return stronger next time; then it will be seen whether Xiang Qianqiu is ruthless enough to devour his sons or whether Chen Yuan defies all conventions and commits patricide.
If that happens, then Chen Yuan's story would become quite interesting.
Patricide and regicide make him undeniably a traitor.
Some who are not as strong as Chen Yuan naturally try to tarnish him in other ways, but Chen Yuan pays no mind to such rumors.
If you've done it, there's no fear of what others say.
