A few years ago in the Capital City, Pei Yan was just a dense block of wood.
Back then, he was cold and unfeeling. Anyone who got close to him would only end up covered in wounds.
Looking back on it now, Xue Xingyao felt like Pei Yan had become a completely different person.
She whispered to Mei Wanying, "Is there some kind of secret between you two? His transformation is just too drastic. I always figured he'd never wise up and would just end up a lonely bachelor for life."
Given his temperament back then, even after ascending the throne, he probably would've become a tyrant.
And yet, the truth was that he was a wise and brilliant ruler, and his reign benefited the common people.
And he was exceptionally good to Ah Yin and Ling.
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes that the man was truly Pei Yan, Xue Xingyao would have suspected he'd been replaced by an imposter.
There were some things Mei Wanying didn't know how to explain to Xue Xingyao.
