After the end of the War of Investiture, Erlangshen originally thought he could take good care of Third Sister. However, Cunxin managed to drive away Third Sister and the Meishan Brothers one after another, and even wanted to run off the Xiaotian Hound. As if that wasn't enough, she was always suspecting him of this and that. The trust in their marriage had vanished long ago—or rather, to put it more accurately, there had never been any trust between them to begin with.
I admit that when I agreed to marry her at the start, I harbored a sense of guilt. I felt guilty because it was because of me that Cunxin could not return home and broke ties with her family. I felt guilty that a young girl like her was left alone and helpless in the outside world, and I wanted to compensate her.
I felt guilty toward Chang'e. I had indeed been moved, but as time passed, Chang'e was merely a driving force in my heart—or rather, she was my idol. I never entertained any other thoughts; I simply wanted to live a proper life with Cunxin.
