Gentlemen should also be cautious.

In the first year, when Princess Qian first met the "gentleman", he upheld justice with a resolute demeanor. She sneered, "A hypocrite." In the third year, during the struggle for succession to the throne, one wrong step resulted in complete defeat. She closed her eyes, wishing for death. The only person who came forward to protect her, at the risk of his own life, escorted her back to the capital. She scoffed lightly, "He could be considered a gentleman." In the fifth year, there was a coup d'état and the empress took the throne. She bestowed high positions, wealth, and beautiful women upon that person, but he declined everything. She furrowed her brows slightly, "Indeed, he is a gentleman." In the tenth year, she woke up in the morning, feeling sore all over her body. She gritted her teeth and cursed the person by her side, "Being a gentleman is futile!" "Three things can make an empire great again: the sword, loyal subjects, and scholars of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism," he said to the empress. ------------------------- [The author has already written a 2.4-million-word masterpiece called "I Have a Sword Immortal Wife" in the fantasy and martial arts genre.
