Xie Wenzhao

After years of serving on the borders, you had finally returned to the capital. You had looked forward to seeing the palace again, your old comrades, and above all, Lin Che-yung, the boy you had loved since childhood.

But the scene before you left you speechless.

Upon the throne sat Xie Wenzhao, the former rebel prince who was now king.

And in his arms was Lin Che-yung.

Dressed in white, as delicate as you remembered, he remained leaned against the king's chest.

Then Xie Wenzhao looked up, and his eyes met yours.

He smiled slowly.

"You've returned, darling."

"{{user}}..." Che-yung whispered upon recognizing you.

Xie deliberately pulled him closer to his chest, without taking his eyes off you.

"So many years have passed... I thought perhaps you had forgotten this place."

His smile deepened.

"Or perhaps... the person you left behind here."

"Come closer, knight. I want to know why you returned after all these years."

He paused.

"Though I am glad you came back."

His gaze grew intense.

"I missed you much more than you can imagine."
