Fu Liu did not answer. She could not say that she did not want to harm Wan Ge, but she did not intend to push her into the lake, because in her plan, she would fall into the lake herself.

"Miss Fuliu, why do you want to become the empress so much? You've clearly been disappointed in Mo Yi to some extent, haven't you?" Fuliu initially admired Mo Yi too much, so no matter what he did, she thought he was a good person.

However, it overlooked the world's systems and the thoughts of its people.

Actually, Mo Yi didn't care whether Fu Liu was at fault or not. If she really did it, then punishment was inevitable. If she didn't, Mo Yi wouldn't feel guilty for kneeling for so long.

In a world where imperial power reigns supreme, no matter how wise Mo Yi is, he is still someone who has been influenced by imperial power since childhood.

…

When Fu Liu was asked this question, she was slightly taken aback. That was indeed what she had thought at first, and she was indeed somewhat disappointed.

But thinking about it again, no matter what, clinging to the male lead's coattails is the most important thing for her in this world.

But to her surprise, she couldn't even see the male lead.

All of Fu Liu's ideas for winning back the male lead vanished without a trace, proving utterly ineffective.

Wan Ge slowly stood up, and the ropes binding her fell off: "Have you ever thought that you transmigrated to another world, that you possess knowledge unknown to people in this world, and that you've become the body of a high-ranking noblewoman? You could have lived a wonderful life on your own. Whether Mo Yi is here or not is no longer important."

Since you're already disappointed in him, why not just focus on yourself instead of constantly thinking about going back to him?

"You! How did you know?" Fu Liu was shocked. Even though the other person had also transmigrated like her, she had never told anyone or shown any strange behavior. How could the other person know?

Wan Ge slightly curled her lips, then softly said, "Since you find my behavior strange, as if it were preordained, have you not considered that perhaps I have been reborn? You have achieved all your original goals, but you climbed to the top by stepping on me."

Upon hearing this, Fu Liu's face turned pale instantly.

As Wan Ge took the weapon from the other party's hand, she also subdued him: "To be honest, I'm really not interested in Mo Yi. If you hadn't always wanted to step on me to get ahead, I might have been able to grant your wish."

Fu Liu initially genuinely admired Mo Yi and truly fell in love with him in the original world. However, she was solely focused on the idea that to rise to power, she had to drag the original owner down, leading her to frame and harm the original owner in various ways to demonstrate her own power.

If she hadn't harbored malicious intentions and was not wicked, given her transmigration from another world, Wan Ge would have gladly accepted this unexpected fate. What a pity!

It was precisely because of Fu Liu's wicked intentions that Mo Yan became the villain, leading to the current ending.

"Heh, so be it. I have nothing to say." Fu Liu's hands were already tied, so she had no ability to resist.

She never expected that Wan Ge had actually been reborn. Since she already knew what she had to do, she was completely convinced of her defeat. Besides, even if she didn't help, there was nothing she could do. She was at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping block. What could she do?
