Nangong Jue laughed.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." Le Yao glared at her. "I've been single for over twenty years, and I've always dreamed of my Prince Charming. You perfectly embody all my fantasies... Especially after seeing you get injured for the country, I feel like I've truly come to know you again..."

Nangong Jue smiled even more broadly. He used to hate his appearance and even wanted to disfigure himself, but now, for the first time, he was so glad that his appearance had attracted his wife.

"At the time, I thought that if I couldn't get out, then having a perfect man like you by my side for the rest of my life would be a bonus... But I didn't expect that I would trigger a side quest and uncover the mystery of my origins. So I have a responsibility to figure this out. That way, I can give myself an explanation for taking over Miss Han's body."

“I understand.” Nangong Jue nodded. “I will work with you to get to the bottom of this and give the real Han Binglan an explanation.”

Le Yao smiled and said, "If I don't figure it out, I think I'll always have a knot in my heart... Actually, I was a little cautious before, afraid of giving myself away. Now that I've said it, I feel much more relaxed. After all, I don't want to keep playing the role of someone else."

“Alan, no, from now on I’ll call you Le Yao, call you A Yao.” Nangong Jue grabbed Le Yao’s shoulders and looked her seriously into her eyes. “To tell you the truth, I don’t owe Han Binglan anything. The only thing I might owe is that I didn’t reciprocate her feelings, nor did I firmly reject them, giving her hope. But marrying her was actually a way of protecting her. Back then, Han Guosheng and his wife always wanted to kill her or sell her for profit…”

“I understand.” Le Yao nodded. “I know the whole plot.”

“You must have come here after you jumped into the lake, right? It was from that time that I sensed your difference. It was you who attracted me, not her…” Nangong Jue also gave a bitter smile. “Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that we look alike, I would have always thought that I was pursuing someone else. But such an unbelievable thing was something I didn’t even dare to think about. And now, I feel relieved. I have loved only you, Le Yao, from beginning to end… So, figuring out her background is a way for me to make amends to her…”

“Okay, let’s go together.” Le Yao held Nangong Jue’s hand. “I hope she came to my world from the book and became me. In that place, there are parents and a younger brother who love you. It may not be as rich as here, but it’s very happy…” She really hoped that she and Han Binglan had swapped souls. She hoped that Han Binglan could feel the love of her parents in her own world and that she could find a man she loved and who loved her deeply, so that she wouldn’t suffer like the characters in the book.

Nangong Jue hugged Le Yao tightly.

“Oh, right.” Le Yao patted Nangong Jue on the back, “In the original story, there was no S District, and you didn’t have that awe-inspiring status…”

"So, those are all dreams. We live in the present. Whether it's Alan or Leyao, you are my wife, and we will spend the rest of our lives together. If one day you have to leave, please take me with you..."
