Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Yu Chen opened his eyes.

He looked down at her face buried in the crook of his neck, her tears smearing on his neck.

He placed his hand on her back and patted her gently. "A person who has died once will not die so easily again."

His voice was very low, so low it sounded like he was talking to himself.

Su Wuli's eyelashes fluttered, and she lifted her head from the crook of his neck.

She couldn't see his face in the darkness.

"What did you say?" Her voice was still hoarse from crying.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I said I won't die."

He pressed his fingertip against the corner of her eye and wiped away the tear.

Su Wuli buried her face back in his chest.

His long arms tightened around her.

The embers in the charcoal brazier dimmed for a moment, then brightened again.

Su Wuli stopped dreaming, and he stopped sleeping.

When Su Wuli woke up the next day, there were faint dark circles under her eyes.

Just like a few days ago, he stretched out a hand and touched the side.

He took her hand in return.

Su Wuli opened her eyes and looked at him; her eyes were bloodshot.

"We're going outside the camp today," Yu Chen informed him.

"Let's go together..." she said instinctively.

"No." Yu Chen didn't agree to her as before; instead, his tone was somewhat serious. "Qi Zexun is still watching you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli's lips twitched a few times, but she ultimately closed her mouth.

He was telling the truth.

Qi Zexun, that madman, who knows where he is?

Who knows if he'll hide in the woods again.

She couldn't refute it, nor did she want to put him in a difficult position.

"Okay, I understand."

She nodded, then buried her face in his chest again, somewhat reluctant to leave.

"I'll be back soon," Yu Chen reassured him gently.

She did not respond.

She pulled her out of her arms and looked down at her face.

Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes drooped.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

Then I got up and washed up.

She lay in bed, listening to the sound of him getting dressed.

Soon, they heard the whooshing sound of cold wind rushing in when the tent flap was lifted, and then it fell back down.

The footsteps faded into the distance.

She then opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent.

He lay down for a while before sitting up, then walked to the low table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.

Put the cup down and pull the outer robe off the screen to put it on.

Since she couldn't go with them, she had to find something to do on her own, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to sit in the tent and let her mind wander.

And I haven't been to the wounded soldiers' camp for several days.

When she arrived, Dr. Sun was changing the dressing of a wounded soldier. He nodded when he saw her come in.

Su Wuli walked to the corner and squatted down, skillfully tidying up the scattered gauze on the low table, one roll at a time.

A wounded soldier needed his dressing changed, so she brought him the medicine and gauze.

Squat down and unwrap the old bandage.

The edges of the wound have closed up and new flesh has grown.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

After all, their wounds were still raw and bleeding a few days ago, and she was genuinely happy to be able to help.

Just as she expected, staying busy in the wounded soldiers' camp kept her from overthinking.

Until Su Wuli folded the gauze in her hand and placed it on the low table.

Someone outside called out, "The Prince is back."

Her hand paused for a moment, then she put down the medicine bottle, stood up, and walked towards the tent flap.

His steps were a little unsteady.

At the camp gate, Yu Chen was dismounting from his horse.

Su Wuli ran up to him without stopping and threw herself into his arms.

She could smell the coldness emanating from his armor.

Yu Chen wrapped his arm around her waist and caught her.

His other hand, which was about to untie the wristband, stopped there.

The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads; no one dared to look.

Su Wuli buried herself in his arms, remaining silent for a long time.

Until the man's voice rang out, "Many people are watching."

His voice carried a hint of amusement, "Once you're not shy anymore, you can continue hugging."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli lifted her head from his chest.

When she met his smiling eyes, she instinctively turned her head away.

Among the soldiers with their heads down, some secretly raised their eyelids and then quickly lowered them again.

Her face flushed instantly.

She released her hand from his waist and took a step back.

I couldn't help but glare at him.

Yu Chen reached out and grabbed her hand, preventing her from going too far away.

She struggled for a moment, but he didn't let go, so she stopped moving.

Yu Chen took her hand and walked back. She followed behind him, looking down at their clasped hands.

Back in the tent, he took off his armor.

She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it.

Yu Chen turned around and walked in front of her, raised his hand to cover her face, and gently pinched her earlobe with his fingers.

She flinched and raised her hand to slap his hand away.

He held on, preventing her from slapping it away.

"Nothing much happening today, right?" Su Wuli asked.

"no."

It got dark quickly. After dinner, Su Wuli sat on the bed.

Watching Yu Chen pick up the military treatise from the low table, flip through a couple of pages, and then put it down again.

He didn't go out.

She waited a while longer, but he was still there.

Su Wuli couldn't help but ask, "Are you free tonight?"

"Um."

"I want to see the stars."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at her. "It's too cold at night."

She raised her hands and stretched them out in front of him, "If you hold me, I won't be cold."

He looked at her outstretched hand but didn't immediately agree.

Su Wuli stretched her hand forward a little more and touched the back of his hand with her fingers.

"Go ahead." She looked into his eyes, her gaze soft.

Yu Chen looked at it for two seconds and then sighed.

Su Wuli knew he had agreed.

Yu Chen pulled her outer robe off the screen and draped it over her shoulders.

Su Wuli even cooperated by raising her arm so he could put his sleeve on.

Then he took a blanket from the bed and wrapped it around her whole body.

She stood there, wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon.

He sat down by the curtain and stretched out his legs.

She walked over and sat down between his legs, her back pressed against his chest.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled the blanket up to cover her.

Su Wuli rested her head on his shoulder and looked up.

The clouds were thick and gray, covering the entire sky.

Even the moon is not visible.

She looked for a while, but there was nothing there.

"There are no stars," she said in a muffled voice.

"Mmm." His voice was close to her ear.

She looked up for a while, but still nothing.

She leaned her head back on his shoulder, her fingers emerging from the blanket and resting on the back of his hand.

"Let's see tomorrow, it'll definitely be available tomorrow."

"Mm," he replied.

Su Wuli's fingers slowly rubbed against the back of his hand, again and again.

A gust of wind blew in and blew on her feet, and she curled her toes into the blanket.

Yu Chen pulled her closer to him, and she pressed herself against him.

Su Wuli leaned on his shoulder and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Then her eyes closed, and her breathing gradually became lighter.

When Yu Chen looked down at her, she had already fallen asleep.

He pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders.

A gust of wind blew by, and she snuggled closer to him.

He held her tightly.

He looked at it for a while and then looked away.

There were no stars, and he didn't look at them.

…………

When Su Wuli woke up, it was already daylight.

She returned to her apartment.

Upon opening my phone, I saw the time Lin Liwen had sent me.

After gathering her thoughts, she got up and washed up.

After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Lin Liwen rolled down the car window and turned her head to look at her.

"Get in the car."

She opened the car door, got in, and fastened her seatbelt.

Lin Liwen started the car and noticed that she wasn't in a good state, so she spoke up to remind her.

"Let's talk about 'Jin Yu Ying Jiang Shan' today, keep it up."

"Mmm," Su Wuli replied, turning her head to look out the window.

The talks went very smoothly.

The director approved of her idea, and the producer made the decision on the spot; all that was left was to sign the contract.

When they came out of the conference room, Lin Liwen walked ahead with light steps.

"This is now in our hands." Lin Liwen turned her head to look at her.

Su Wuli walked beside her with a faint, clearly unusual expression.

Lin Liwen slowed her pace. "Unhappy?"

Su Wuli raised her head and shook her head. "I didn't sleep well last night."

Lin Liwen glanced at her for two seconds, then didn't press further. "Shall we go out for dinner to celebrate?"

Su Wuli shook her head and declined, saying, "I don't really want to eat; I want to go back and rest."

Lin Liwen looked at her, opened her mouth, and then closed it again.

He then looked away and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator doors opened, and two people stepped inside.

The floor numbers jumped one by one, and no one said a word.

The car was parked downstairs at the apartment building.

Su Wuli unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door.

Lin Liwen called out to her.

She turned around.

Lin Liwen looked at her, and after a few seconds, she said, "Get some rest."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wen." Su Wuli nodded and closed the car door.

Lin Liwen sat in the car, watching her back as she walked into the building.

She turned her gaze back and started the car.

Su Wuli entered the room without turning on the lights.

I put my bag on the entryway cabinet, kicked off my shoes, and walked into the living room in my slippers.

Sit down on the sofa and pull the cushion over to hug it.

It wasn't that she didn't want to cheer up, but this trip back had made her extremely anxious.

Moreover, the flow of time on both sides is now clearly different; at the beginning, it seemed like there was no difference.

It wasn't until Yu Chen went to war that she truly realized this.

This made her extremely uneasy, as she always felt it was related to the ending of the original story.

However, so far, it seems she can't do anything.

After thinking it over, she couldn't resist picking up her phone and opening a reading app.

Find "Meeting Mountains and Rivers" and click on it.

The screen went white for a moment when the page loaded, and then the words popped up one by one.

She subconsciously scrolled down to the comments section.

The comments section was pushed to the top, with many new messages, mostly from the last month.

[Was the character Yu Chen rewritten? I thought he was a pure villain when I first watched the series, but now something just doesn't seem right.]
