"Ji Nianqin, what's wrong with you?"
"How dare the prince say that about me? He's particularly on his mother's side."
"This is the conflict between you and your mother-in-law. Ji Nianqin, you can only let the prince be in the middle and suffer the consequences."
"So what should I do now?"
"You're about to participate in the competition. Look at the contestants here, they've all started making final preparations."
"Cao Hanhui, I don't know why I can't calm down. So many people from the ancient times have gone back, even my parents are gone. If I continue to participate in the competition here, even if I truly promote hairpins, who will celebrate with me?"
"Ji Nianqin, is celebrating so important?"
"Of course it's important. You don't know the ins and outs here. Anyway, I won't tell you much, Cao Hanhui. Just know that I'm a very opinionated person."
"Even if you have your own ideas, you still have to make preparations. I've already helped you with a lot, Ji Nianqin, just find some hairpins that you really like."
"Cao Hanhui, you said that we must participate in the competition to promote our products. I think my hairpins look pretty good in the ancient photography studio. Since modern people prefer other styles, why should I continue to stay here?"
"Why didn't you figure this out earlier, Ji Nianqin? But if you want to withdraw from the competition now, it's too late. You can only bite the bullet and go ahead."
"Cao Hanhui, do you think that if a person falls in love with another person, they will forget about the past? Because they have found someone they truly love, everything in the past should not be so important to them, right?"
"Ji Nianqin, what's wrong with you? I see you're running away from the battlefield. You're completely different from the fearless girl you used to be."
"I don't know either. I just feel a panic in my heart, as if something is about to happen."
"No, you know quite a few of the judges."
"But the female painter judge said she's not fair, and the top male stars are unreliable. How can I guarantee I'll get first place?"
"Then you have to go too. Things have come to this point. If you don't participate, Miss Chai Dai will be taken away by someone else."
"Cao Hanhui, come on, I really don't want to go on. The purpose of my trip was a coincidence, but besides promoting hairpins, I really want to find someone who loves me, but I haven't found one yet. I don't want to travel back and look at the prince's old face every day in the palace. I'll get tired of it. I really don't like him."
"Ji Nianqin, didn't you say that you could sacrifice your family for the sake of Chai Dai?"
"But I was very nervous. It wasn't because of the competition. It seemed that I hadn't been able to successfully promote the practice of wearing hairpins. It was precisely because I felt insecure that I wasn't happy when I was wearing hairpins for customers. I didn't know why."
"Is it because you often wear couple hairpins too much, so you think about yourself as a single dog. The prince is not bad, you can make do with him. Life passes by in the blink of an eye."
"Precisely because life is so short, I must find someone I really, really like. I want him to obey my every word. That way, perhaps I can concentrate on making hairpins."
