The feeling was that out of the three of them, she was the only one who seemed like a little fool...

She seemed to gradually understand why all three of them, even though they knew Wang Ji liked Lena and never wanted to pretend to be virtuous, still hesitated and increasingly wanted to cut their losses quickly.

It turns out that the attraction wasn't just in her looks, nor solely in her personality.

Those were the areas where Wang Ji could sense that she was destined to be at a disadvantage.

"Do you really want to be emperor?" Qi Lin remembered asking him this question once, under the setting sun at the Super God Academy, on a tree branch.

"Why would you ask that?" He was clearly surprised.

"Hmm..." She was probably very magnanimous at the time: "Actually, there are some things... I was prepared for them long ago."

That was the first time she had been completely open with him.

She remembered that he seemed to be silent for a long time, gazing at the distant sunset.

Under the orange light, his eyes reflected an orange glow.

"I don't know what that will be. Actually, I don't really yearn for it, but I'll probably reach that level someday, if I don't die..."

I don't know if it will be a manor, a factory, a country, or just a desolate village in the countryside. It will be something I own, whether naturally or through hard work.

I should always strive forward and do my best.

Only then can we be here together, leisurely enjoying the sunset…

“She can help you… She visits you every night.” She remembered her head pressed against his heart, able to hear his heartbeat: “I don’t care if it’s her, or who it will be later… a maid?”

I can hear you at night; perhaps this will make things easier for you in the future.

“You will be the mistress of that place… of course, the mistress.” He said leisurely, “After we finish the war and survive, when we get tired of staying here, we can come and go.”

"Hehe, alright, alright, mistress... Alright, I've finished my long talk with you, time to go back, come on... mua~" She remembered that she said it with a smile, back then he was just a nobody, not necessarily that strong.

She believed him, but not completely.
