Murong felt a glimmer of hope on the seventh day, as Wentian's condition slightly improved.
He felt as if he was left with only half a life.
He had never found the act of facing heaven to be so troublesome and painful; even sleeping on a straw mat became unbearable.
On the sixth day, he even considered Duan Yun's suggestion.
Cut it off!
But he detested eunuchs!
Upon hearing of his improvement, Duan Yun suggested, "You've been facing heaven for so long, it must be because your practice is too shallow. You haven't settled it in. Look at me, I would not take that long. In my opinion, you should continue to practice, and practice more will do."
Murong clenched his teeth and said, "Get lost!"
...
Murong nearly cried when he saw the possibility of returning to normal.
He couldn't help but feel, that even without becoming a woman, just to be a normal man who doesn't constantly face heaven, was a kind of happiness.
