"The Apothecary Diaries 2x23" by aliciaxlife from Patreon

Shishou spent his whole life rolling over for his wife, trying to get her to forgive him for bringing another woman into his household, even if it was at the Emperor's request. He became a shell of a human in his pursuit of forgiveness in her eyes, and was blind to everything beyond his love, including Shenmei's nature and the damage that his passivity enabled. He was a terrible father and a terrible husband, but in the end, he stepped up to protect his wife and child from being seen as guilty in the eyes of the law. Instead, his actions and the rehearsed-sounding monologue were meant to place at least part of the blame on his own shoulders. He was not a good man, but at the very least, he did what Loulan requested: he took responsibility as his last action in life.
