She had slept in this bed many times before, but now as she lay down, memories of the past surged forth like a wellspring.

The Heavenly King had more than once proposed that she and Jun Yu engage in marital alliances with other realms, but they, brother and sister, had rejected them all.
The only request she had ever made was just so.
On the matter of marriage, to let her and her brother make their own decisions.

His words tonight were something she had never even dared to contemplate before.
