"I love you, too," he murmurs, relaxing into the embrace. "We can adopt some brothel children. I was already thinking of it... Giving them more opportunities to prove themselves would be a good thing and result in less tragedy."

As privileged of a life he's led, his mother was a concubine before his father had promoted her to the position of wife after Mingjue's mother had died. He'd grown up the lesser of the brothers as a result until his mother's fortunes had changed. Had his father been less righteous or kind, perhaps his own life would've mirrored his lover's.

"We'll have the resources. Some budget adjustments might need to be made but it would be worth it. I can sacrifice some finery for our family."

For all his love of beauty and luxury, family is what's most important to him at the end of the day. And Jin Ziyao is part of that family. Soon in a more official capacity.

"You were, were you? I am so glad. It feels like we have similar values. I know we can do a lot of great things together." he presses another kiss into his soft hair.

"Once we settle back in I can look over the budget. There may be places we can curb expenditure and deals we can make to bring in more prosperity." this was what he was best at.

"I may have some hidden assets back from my previous life that I can open a new account for philanthropic work. I think I really need to make up for what I did to Sisi and the others... I would like to use the funds to make certain there are more options for people like my mother...And for children like me."

He nuzzled into him relaxing.

"If I have anything to do with anything you won't have to sacrifice much, you have made too many sacrifices already my heart."

Perhaps it's the ghosts from his past that are always haunting him that makes him feel like he's not giving enough. Or the scars left behind from years of being stretched far beyond his limits and relentlessly pushed toward unattainable goals that continue to make him doubt himself.

After a moment, he kisses Ziyao's neck before murmuring against his skin.

"Even now I wonder how much I've truly sacrificed when others are less fortunate than I. How much more I can give up to make everything right again with everyone I've hurt."

A brief pause.

"But if I can give a home, a voice, and opportunities to those truly in need of them, I think that would make me happy."

He's always wanted his life to hold some sort of meaning, deep down.

"You know it is not really a competition. There will always be those more fortunate and less fortunate than us.

You have sacrificed yourself for years. Your peace of mind for a lot of things. Fighting alone so very long. And even before that, you had to sacrifice yourself to what society had asked of you. Please do not minimize what you have been through my love.

No more of that. You are going to shine and be happy in being yourself.

And if we can make changes that help others then all the more wonderful. We can never make up for the terrible choices we had made but we can work for a world that which people would ideally have to suffer less. We will have to work with others through this type of venture. On the micro-level, we can perhaps open up education opportunities for those talented but with no means.

I want Jin Ling's generation to not know war. I want to be able to keep our family safe and happy."
