"Others only wish to stay as far away from me as possible, fearing that the emperor might turn his dislike on me and bring disaster upon himself. Why are you not afraid?" Instead, you actively approach me, this ominous person.
What exactly is her purpose?
Xiao Ziwu had this question lingering in his mind, but he hadn't dared to ask it aloud. What was even more absurd was that, even though he clearly knew her motives, he was still uncontrollably falling into the swamp...
This is what Tianyun is most guilty about, after all, he made a deal with the mysterious man, and his initial intention to approach him was not pure.
She paused for a moment, her fingertips tracing the patterns on the teacup, pondering how to dispel the boy's suspicions. Little did she know that this moment of hesitation was enough to demoralize the boy, his dark gold eyes dimming, and he reverted to his aloof and expressionless demeanor.
