The liquid seized his second chance of freedom , essence being the first.

well he knew that. he never did. right from the time when he ran away from home because of the same marriage.

Hei Anying naturally was birthed in the land of gods from the upper realms into the same Hei family. he was the last child of the goddess of freedom\harmony which was his mother, and that of balance which was his father.

his mother supported all his cahoots because she was the god of freedom/harmony 50/50 and he inherited her traits. but she was so protective and loving to the point that it sent shivers down his spine.

forget about that his father was the opposite. he was the god of balance which obviously means. 50% of his love was for his wife and others were for other things. like how Anying only got 10%. it was the neutral treatment.

he couldn't ask for more. apart from the fact that he wanted his dad to dump his ' sticker for rules ' traits. but never.

he was born weak. but the essence of freedom running through his being made him special. which he hated. because being special means being recognized. and being recognized meant being unfree.

he didn't want that so he kept running away from home. and his parents kept bringing him back. one due to worry and the other due to responsibility.

you know who did what. he was tired and so fustrated he didn't know what to do anymore... that was until he was told that it was time to move into his two husbands home for taming. more like imprisonment.

to the ice psycho god of darkness and flirt god of comfort. that was when a solution came in from nowhere which he welcomed wholeheartedly.

the simple plan was to lay low, cultivate into the very essence of freedom which was a ball of light and float around in freedom.

he did that and succeeded without his parents troubling him. that is to say. they gave him a chance to escape without telling him the consequences of it.

for years, he stayed outside the atmosphere of the realm, travelling everywhere without a solid body. he was more like a spirit.

he stayed free for years until one day, he got pulled into the stomach of a woman in a lower realm's planet without permission. then he had freaked out. but he played calm until he got born into the Hei family with a mother having ⅒% of his real mother's attitude and a father, having ⅝% if his real father's attitude. guess his parents gifted his two current parents with them.

and now here he was again with the same mantle of responsibility over his head.

by being born with the blood of an emperor. since the day he was born, he got befriended only because he had influence. and he had an aide named Liu feng, and a stepbrother, Ru lan who became his knight because he couldn't become his lover.

well the stepbrother's soul was from one of the influential gods who followed to woo him but had the unfortunate fate of being related to him by blood .

he didn't mind though because that wasn't his problem. his problem was that he couldn't be free. his mother had been trying to protect him from the clutches of his evil stepsisters and their claws but he could never get his freedom and that of the pressurizing populance

now he still had to go meet the two people that he most certainly knew were the two gods who remained a mystery.

the god of darkness and that of comfort.

...

he hated the liquid running through his veins in the form of blood called an emperor's bloodline. and if not because his mother was even protecting him from all corners, he would have been bullied badly and maybe killed because he had the liquid in his veins.

why because, he was seen as a weak fellow which he would have been if it was in the higher realms. here he was strong but didn't divulge to anyone except a few. more like he was restricted.

they only knew that he was the only person that could lead properly and bring back the long gone peace of the Galaxy of planets.

and right. he never had a choice. and wasn't sure he would ever do.

" fine then. I'm leaving ". he finally said, his tone came out playful yet with a hint of sadness he couldn't fully facade.

making the old man feel pity for his grandson. " Anying...--"

"I'm leaving grandpa ". the younger male cut him off and walked out while internally trying hard not to break down in front of him .

' why can't they just understand that I just want to be free... why can't I escape?... would my husband's dislike me?... I just hope they do so I don't get to be kept or D--pid...'. just the thought of it was nerve wrecking.

and didn't they say... only he could rule because he possessed the emperor's bloodline?. so what was it about marrying two people he hadn't met before who didn't have the said bloodline?.

or was there something he didn't know about?.
