“You can continue to be kind, and you can choose not to face this filthy world. But you must know that if you really don’t want to, then your only choice is the path I’m giving you,” Yu Jingchen said.
"Don't feel it's unfair, because unfairness is the ultimate fairness. Even if you're dissatisfied, there's nothing you can do, because you can't change the rules right now, so you can only submit to them." Yu Jingchen pulled Nan Zhiyun out of his arms. Looking at her red, tear-filled eyes, Yu Jingchen felt a pang of heartache. He wiped away the tears from the corners of Nan Zhiyun's eyes: "Be a little more obedient, okay? I'm not saying you have to listen to everything I say, but there are some things you do need to listen to. For example, your safety, your health. If you don't like something, you can tell me. If it can be improved, I will improve it according to your wishes. Don't use yourself as a tool." Yu Jingchen said, looking at her.
Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen, her face expressionless, yet somehow giving off a sense of oppression and vulnerability.
Yu Jingchen couldn't bear to see Nan Zhiyun like this, so he simply avoided looking at her: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You can go and think about it slowly. Drink your medicine first; your health is the most important thing." Yu Jingchen brought over a bowl of medicine that the palace servant had just brought.
Nan Zhiyun looked at the medicine in front of her and remained silent for a long time before finally giving in. She picked up the bowl of medicine and obediently drank it all.

He noticed it last time, so he specially arranged for someone to prepare it.
But... Nan Zhiyun doesn't seem to be the same easily appeased person she used to be, so no matter what Yu Jingchen does, she won't be moved anymore. Because she no longer has any expectations, there's no need for her to do certain things.
“I don’t like this…” Nan Zhiyun pushed his hand away, and Yu Jingchen’s eyes immediately dimmed. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything and just withdrew his hand.
“It’s alright, if you don’t like it, then don’t eat it. But you’re very sensitive to bitterness, so if there’s anything else you want to eat, or anything that can relieve the bitterness in your mouth, you can tell me, and I’ll have someone prepare it,” Yu Jingchen said.
