Yia

"Expect nothing. Appreciate everything." That is the oath Bai Yun, former Emperor or the Tandang Dynasty, swore after surrendering the throne, and the life that was never truly his. Bound by duty, haunted by a love he could never claim, Bai Yun longs only for freedom. A life far from the palace, far from power, and far from Tie Gen, his childhood best friend and the one heart he could never touch. So he vanish, leaving behind a world of expectations, responsibilities, and a man who may never understand why. At last free, Bai Yun discovers that escaped comes with its own consequences. Because some bonds cannot be broken, some hearts cannot be outrun, and some truths will find you, no matter how far you hide. You can leave a throne behind, but you cannot escape the heart you left behind.
