However, the man in the coffin was a completely different type from Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai was the archetypal handsome older man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, while the man in the coffin's features were more refined and dashing.
If Zhao Kai had looked wretched and miserable when Zhong Yi first met him, having lost both legs and an arm,
then the man in the coffin could only be described as grotesque and horrifying. A scar ran from his left cheek down to his thigh, essentially slicing his body open diagonally.
Logically, an injury like this should have been fatal. The man's condition indicated that he hadn't received immediate treatment when he was wounded.
This wound, which nearly cleaved his body in two, wasn't even his primary fatal injury. Judging from its depth, the state of his internal organs must have been even worse.
If he had received medical attention right after being injured, his external wounds shouldn't have been so severe.
