But she couldn't just sit and wait to die! What if the wizard had taken advantage of her parents? What if humans went out to sea again in a few days?
Gu Qingqiu then realized that she had been having too much fun with Troye these past two days and had been oversimplifying things. The world was much more difficult than she had imagined!
