(Qin Zetian's POV)

As we travel the wind became so cold and blood kept on oozing out of my body, maybe because I am in higher altitude. The moon shone so bright and the sky was filled with stars of different types. Then I hugged my cloak tightly as the other hand held the horse's reins.

There are times when I wish for peace and solace, yet trouble seems to look for me. There are times when I asked myself why I need to live a life like this? And there are moments when I question my own existence.

How come I have travelled so far, yet it still make me feel caged? And sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be an ordinary person; one who's happy, simple and contented.

Why do I need to be someone of importance?

”Maximus, I cannot go home with wounds like these, bring me to a place where I can rest. Bring me somewhere I can hide. Thank you” I whispered as breathing became harder

Then I slowly drifted to sleep and lost consciousness.

Morning finally called me.

With an aching head I woke up.

I slowly opened my eyes. The sunlight greeted me and birds sang so lively. I touched my forehead. It has a bandages. I checked my clothes yet it has been changed, and what's odd is that the identity jade I own was still tied on my dress. I frowned.

I scanned the room and help myself up. Where is this place? Where am I?

The curtains are dancing with the wind. I cannot stand but I can imagine. Where did dad's horse brought me? What is this place?

The bed I'm lying on is covered with the finest silk. The clothes I'm wearing is also made of silk, as well as the curtains and everything else. The walls are oddly cemented with deep rich carvings. And all wooden things have markings. I cannot identify them, is it possible for me to be in another place?

The door creaked open.

A man engulfed in blinding light walked in.

I covered my eyes for a brief moment.

”You're awake, let me help you. It's time to eat” He said

Servants came in, but all of them are males. The man whose presence is so undeniably strong pick the tray up and walk towards me. Suddenly my whole body became stiff, it's as if someone is controlling me.

He sat beside me. And I have never thought I'll see someone as godly as him. Eyes so blue that I wanna drown in them. Nose so sharp and brows fairly thick. His lips so red and skin as white as pearls. His hair is oddly thick, long and curly. I held my breath for a moment and it's as if time has stopped running.
