The relationship between Fang Bai and the Hundred Flowers Empress could be described in mundane terms as "more than friends, not yet lovers."
They had known each other for many years, held deep affections, ambiguous and undefined, but due to various reasons, even until Fang Bai was "fallen" after being besieged by the eight top Immortal Emperors, they were unable to unite as official immortal partners.
On the surface, the Hundred Flowers Empress appeared frail, like a delicate flower vulnerable to the slightest breeze.
But only Fang Bai understood the strength of character hidden beneath her fragile exterior.
Though she was not Fang Bai's immortal partner, her affection for him was no less than any immortal partner's.
Fang Bai knew that upon hearing the news of his "fall," the Hundred Flowers Empress would not react as intensely as other disciples and close friends from the Emperor's Palace, but would instead bury the hatred deep within, silently enduring.
