Was he too much of a failure, or was she too hard-hearted?

Mo Lan: "..."

Unable to answer the question immediately, she lowered her gaze, stroked the pointer in her hand, and remained silent.

The atmosphere between the two was subtle. Just when Qin Su thought she wouldn't speak again, Mo Lan suddenly called out to him.

"Qin Su, there's a saying I don't know if you've heard before: it's said that men need to conquer the world to prove themselves, while women only need to conquer men to succeed... But my personality is clearly not suitable for that."

Years later, when he achieves success, he will be surrounded by many outstanding women. There will always be one woman for whom he will willingly give everything, and that woman is destined not to be him.

Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and listened to her fallacies. His eyes were unfathomable. Even if, many years later, there was a woman he would willingly offer himself to, that woman would no longer be the one he desired.

"I understand what you mean, and I'll remember what you said today. Until we meet again."

"Until we meet again..." Mo Lan murmured as she watched Qin Su's retreating figure. She never imagined that she would become his Moonlight White!

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!

Mo Lan held a pointer in her hand, standing atop the mountain, looking down over this pure land.

The northeastern city is as solid as a fortress.

She seized this land amidst the chaos. When she first established the Northeast, she moved all her followers and soldiers out to expand the city, build houses, cultivate farmland, and expand her territory. After six years of hard work, she finally built this place into a solid Northeast city, dominating the region.

Through years of experience, Song Jian passed the test, and Mo Lan helped him ascend to the throne of the King of the Northeast, while she herself waved her sleeves and traveled the world freely.

In the blink of an eye, I've been wandering around for almost four years. Under Song Jian's governance, Northeast City is prosperous and peaceful, with thriving commerce and self-sufficient agriculture.

Of course, during this time, she was constantly hearing Qin Su's words. In ten years, he not only recovered the territory of the Qin clan, but also conquered most of the Xiang Kingdom. Only after the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement did they live in peace.

After that, he turned his attention to the land of Ji. As predicted, Ji was plagued by an incompetent ruler and ministers, and within five or six years, it was almost completely destroyed.

Many cities were occupied by the Yue and Zhou states, leaving people displaced and starving everywhere.

It was at this time that Qin Su launched a large-scale military campaign. He recaptured every city that Ji State had lost. Before long, most of Ji State's territory fell into his pocket and became his defense.

The cities and counties recovered by Qin Su were pacified, taxes were reduced, and a series of decrees were promulgated, which were applauded by the people.

The King of Ji watched helplessly as his kingdom shrank from a large place to a tiny island, his heart filled with bitterness. Seeing the imposing and awe-inspiring Qin soldiers, his regret and remorse were of no use.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he received a document from an envoy sent by Qin Su, saying that Qin was willing to return the city and county of Ji that it had recovered, and to choose a date for the handover, in order to repay the kindness of the old king who had taken him in.

Looking at the documents on the desk, King Ji was initially delighted, but when he saw his ministers shaking their heads in distress, and then looked at the envoys standing proudly in the court, he instantly calmed down.

He had been confused for most of his life, but finally woke up at the last moment.
