The betrayal of Yuan Shahu caused nearly all brothers of the Yun Family Army to lose their lives, a matter that, even after so many years, Yun Canglang has never forgiven himself for.
Had he not trusted her too much, such a tragic outcome would not have ensued.
Thus, over the years, Yun Canglang has lived in self-reproach and has been in great pain.
He detests that Yuan Shahu, yet he cannot forget the bond they once shared in those years past.
Because of this, even years after returning to Yujing, Yun Canglang has always been unwilling to discuss marriage matters.
These matters, Yun Canglang has never spoken of before outsiders, not even to Zhan Li, who only vaguely knew that he had a lover in Border City; as for her being from Emperor Hong City, both Zhan Li and Yun Bahe had an inkling.
Under the influence of the Emperor's Song, Yun Canglang, leading only a thousand of the Yun Family Army, fought to the very last moment without any stored grain in the city.
