He pulled out the Zhu hairpin from his hair, removed the bracelet from his wrist and finally felt more refreshed. Once again, he turned to face the system's data.

The protagonist wasn't in good health when he was taken by Kang Run. He had been poisoned, but he kept it a secret from them. The poison was very strange. It did not affect the person's body, but instead, it would slowly destroy the poisoned person's appearance. The protagonist didn't want the others to worry, so he would cover his face with a bamboo hat all day not revealing his face towards anyone. Kang Run and the others thought that he had been bullied by Shen Tingwei, so he was in a bad mood and didn't want to see people. They didn't ask any questions, only patiently accompanied him and tried to coax him.

After choosing a good place to live in seclusion and settling down, the poison in the protagonist's body became increasingly serious. Gradually, not just his appearance was affected, even his personality changed. Kang Run and the others finally realized that something was wrong. After talking with each other, they gathered together and had a heart-to-heart talk with the protagonist. The protagonist finally told them the truth. Taking off the hat and veil he was wearing the entire time, he expressed that he wouldn't force them to stay and that those who couldn't accept it could choose to leave. The male leads were shocked, and then one by one all said they wouldn't leave. Their love for him was irreversible and would last until the seas run dry and the stones go soft.

Kang Run found an antidote pill that could cure a hundred poisons for the protagonist. After eating it, although the protagonist's appearance couldn't return to what it used to be, he finally lost the concern about his life. He lived a steady and happy life with the male leads, and the male leads were more considerate and tolerant than before.

Life seemed to be stable and peaceful but it was just a facade. Their lover was poisoned by Shen Tingwei. How could the male leads not hate him? After coaxing the protagonist, they began to sneak back to the capital in turns, gathering power to find a chance to kill Shen Tingwei

So, Shen Tingwei, whose wife had run off, began experiencing the 'going out for a walk and a flower pot fell out of the sky', 'stepping on nails when out riding', and 'going out for a drink and had the misfortune of getting involved in a Jianghu fight' kind of unlucky days. Finally, after overcoming the last pit set for him, he decided to simply pack up his things and go back to the border.

Half a year later, the war at the border was tense. Under the meticulous planning of Kang Run and the others, Shen Tingwei stepped into the enemy's trap and died. The male leads retired successfully and returned to the protagonist's side to finally start their secluded days.

After Shen Tingwei's death, the balanced border war became one-sided. The enemy quickly broke through the defensive line and invaded Hua Country, heading straight for the capital.

When the protagonist gave birth to his first child, Hua Country lost most of its cities; when the protagonist gave birth to his second child, Hua Country had been destroyed; when the protagonist gave birth to his third child, Hua Country had become the back garden of another country; when the protagonist gave birth to his fourth child, under the leadership of Hua Country's royal family orphan, the Hua people went down the path of taking their country back.

The four male leads who all satisfactorily had children finally decided to pay attention to the changing outside world. At first, they were shocked and full of grief after learning that their country had been destroyed and most of their families had died. Then, they resolutely decided to join the army to take back their country.
