The novel is even better and tragic. The author never released LCY's point of view. Pei Chao's, Se Se's, XF's were all there including LCY's son and his wife's.
ML is actually the Emperor's son. The Emperor loved ML's late mother. Somehow the mother ended up marrying the…
The boy was a favourite of the previous emperor. This meant the ML's father could have been a potential heir to the throne like Emperor Qian Long who happened to be a favourite of Kang Xi.
That's why the ML's father refuses to have a regular contact with the Emperor.
This is what a stable and loving relationship is established and will last forever unti death separates the couple.
One of possible reasons why GYX was sent to the north is his father refuses to be used as a pawn to overthrow the current emperor.
This matters when it comes to relationship. That's why they will be happily together.
Like HZ's grandparents.
Pei Chao's POV is the saddest. He witnessed the entire tragedy unfold in front of him but he was unable to stop it.
That's why the ML's father refuses to have a regular contact with the Emperor.
I enjoy his acting!
