He was also only a dozen or so years older than Su Xue and had always played with her. Moreover, whenever a young Su Xue got into trouble, it was this uncle who would make up all sorts of excuses for her, allowing her to escape punishment.
In comparison, Su Xue's perpetually stern father, who never seemed to smile, was clearly not as dear to her as her uncle. In fact, back when Su Xue experienced the first stirrings of love, her uncle was the one who had captured her heart the most! This feeling had nothing to do with anything else; it was merely the innocent, wistful dream of a young girl.
Su Xue's husband, Ye Tianheng, the Western Garrison General of the Zichuan Empire, shared many similarities with her uncle in every aspect except for his strength, which was not as great. This was a major reason why Su Xue, despite seeing that he was from the Mortal World, had been so determined to marry him back then.
