I tried to calm his anger. "Huang Yu, just wait a moment."
He couldn't understand and grew even more furious, starting to smash things.
The floor was littered with shards of porcelain, all carefully selected by me.
Even those jade ornaments, I had chosen each one with care.
Now, they were all destroyed by Huang Yu.
I looked at the chaos around me, feeling surprisingly calm inside.
"Why wasn't it you who died?"
"Why wasn't it you who died?"
"Why wasn't it you who died?"
Huang Yu continued to smash things, repeating the question over and over.
I responded lightly, "Just wait a moment."
I had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, with only three months left to live.
The physician said I might not even last that long.
Huang Yu didn't understand my meaning; he shook me violently. "Go light incense for her!"
"Go on!"
"You said you liked me, right? If you like me, then show some sincerity!"
I brushed his hand aside and walked to Xiao Yue's memorial, lighting three incense sticks. With utmost respect, I bowed three times before placing the incense into the burner.
Huang Yu was quite pleased with my obedience.
That night, I lay in bed, staring at the beams above.
It had been a long time since Huang Yu had held me while sleeping; he always turned his back to me.
I reached out to touch him, and he immediately shifted away.
I knew he was tired, weary.
Our first encounter was at a palace banquet.
The young man wore simple clothing and danced with a sword among the blooming flowers, exuding an air of elegance and vigor.
I couldn't help but steal a few more glances at him.
Noticing my gaze, he bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Princess."
I smiled softly, "What is your name?"
He looked up at me, his eyes sparkling with light.
"My name is Huang Yu."
"Huang Yu..." I silently repeated the name in my heart, feeling a slight blush rise to my cheeks.
I was captivated by his vitality and charm. We talked endlessly in the garden, like old friends reunited after a long separation.
Afterward, we would often catch each other's gaze when we unexpectedly crossed paths.
I had never desired a man so deeply before.
I think I might have fallen in love with him.
Later, our relationship transformed from ambiguity into true love.
Through storms and trials, we walked together for four years.
Unfortunately, he was too willful, leaving me utterly exhausted.
Perhaps he has forgotten that my affection also requires emotional investment.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
Habitually, I got up and went to the table to open the letters.
The butler managed everything in the manor with great efficiency.
Princess Manor is something that Huang Yu and I manage together.
I am responsible for the daily affairs of the manor, while Huang Yu handles external matters.
I often lamented that he was born in a fortunate era where talent alone sufficed.
It’s a pity that early success is not always a blessing.
Both of us have suffered because of it.
I sent him a message, but received no reply.
Just as I was about to change my clothes, I was startled by the portrait of Xiao Yue.
I went to freshen up.
At some point, Huang Yu stood in the courtyard deep in thought. I slowly walked over, and he spoke, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's so cold, and you're dressed so lightly."
I let out a cold laugh. "What am I afraid of?"
"Afraid of ghosts?"
"Ghosts? Aren't they right here?"
Huang Yu glared at me angrily. "Why are you humiliating Yue'er?"
"Humiliating her?"
I shook my head with a smile. "If you think this is humiliation, then I won't humiliate her."
"When I humiliate someone, it’s definitely in front of everyone at a funeral, announcing that Xiao Yue's child is yours."
"Now that's humiliation."
I initially wanted to arrange the affairs of the household and minimize expenses.
Then I planned to have a good discussion with Huang Yu about the future.
But after being diagnosed with a serious illness, I had to change my approach.
Although I enjoy indulging myself, I also dislike causing trouble.
