The Wu Kingdom Royal Palace, Celestial Heart Hall—Emperor Shunde's private quarters.
"Xin'Er, you must help me." Though Emperor Shunde was over forty, he didn't look his age in the slightest. Anyone would have simply taken him for a handsome, dignified man in his prime.
Emperor Shunde was certainly skilled at preserving his youthful looks, but compared to his cousin, Du Suxin, his efforts were child's play.
Du Suxin was at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage. Though approaching forty, she looked as if she were sixteen—youthful, vibrant, and graceful.
Her cheeks were still as rosy and dewy as peach blossoms.
