The events of her past life taught Gu Qinyao a great lesson.
She believed that her failure in her past life was that she couldn't win over Murong Lie with her looks.
Murong Lie was born into a wealthy family and has witnessed countless joys.
If such a person can continue to be a playboy, that's fine. The real fear is that he might suddenly fall for another woman.
Gu Qinyao's life was so tightly intertwined with this man.
To achieve her goals and accumulate points, she needs to win over the big boss, Murong Lie.
[System, are there any events I can participate in recently?]
Gu Qinyao couldn't help but open the page to check the latest plot developments.
In the past year, although there have been undercurrents in the capital, in a sense, things have been relatively calm.
As long as they don't bring the dispute to the public eye, they can maintain a facade of peace.
[Reporting to the host, there are no important events. If you wish, you can attend more gatherings; perhaps the Crown Prince will join you.]
The system's voice carried a mechanical quality.
Gu Qinyao thought to herself that she really did have to attend some events.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, the activities she could participate in were actually quite limited.
However, as the Crown Prince, Murong Lie's whereabouts were unpredictable, and he was rarely seen participating in activities that normal people would attend. It was unknown what he was busy with on weekdays.
It was actually quite difficult for Gu Qinyao to meet him in a natural way.
The crown prince is the heir apparent of the country; how could he be seen so easily?
Gu Qinyao felt extremely uncomfortable.
You have to understand that she entered this world with her own ambitions.
In her opinion, obtaining the gold medal host title was not difficult for her.
But now the situation is completely different.
Having experienced her previous failure, Gu Qinyao was practically traumatized.
She was invincible before, and when she used her special abilities, she acted somewhat arbitrarily.
Now, Gu Qinyao doesn't want to say anything anymore.
She didn't even dare to ask someone to investigate Murong Lie's whereabouts.
But even though she dared not, Gu Qinyao had already restarted this world, and she was determined to make her own achievements.
As a young woman confined to her quarters, she couldn't easily find out Murong Lie's whereabouts, but others might.
Lin Wangjin was approached by Gu Qinyao.
"I only wish to see the Crown Prince. I have something to ask of you. Please give me a chance."
Lin Wangjin looked at Gu Qinyao, who was pleading with him, and nodded.
Murong Lie has been having a lot of dreams lately.
Simply put, he was speechless every time he saw himself in an uncomfortable state.
Unable to find the evil spirit, and with no good solutions, what else can he do but accept his fate?
Fortunately, he now has a specific target in mind, so he no longer has to worry about anything else.
Of course, his hatred for the woman in his dream was no less.
If Murong Lie really finds her, he will definitely kill her; this has become his obsession.
"Your Highness, what are your plans for today?"
Murong Lie was lazily reading a book when he heard Jiang Tian's words and he looked up.
"Did you need something from me?"
Jiang Tian was a little embarrassed: "Today is my twenty-sixth birthday. I was thinking that if possible, I would like to invite you to dinner. If you are busy, then it's fine. I just don't know anyone in this Eastern Palace, and I don't want to celebrate my birthday alone. That's why I hope you can give me a chance."
"You're already twenty-six years old?"
Jiang Tian nodded, her expression somewhat somber: "Yes, if it weren't for the accident, I could have left the palace last year."
Murong Lie squinted at her; both of them knew what this unexpected turn of events meant.
"It seems you really dislike the palace."
Jiang Tian looked at him cautiously: "I just don't like it. Don't you also dislike being restrained? I'm even worse off than you. I'm a servant. I dislike it here even more."
That's amazing. When she returned to the East Palace, she stopped calling me "servant" and started calling me directly.
"So, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday?"
Jiang Tian's eyes lit up.
"I don't have any particularly good plans. If possible, I'd like to have a big meal and then get a good night's sleep."
Murong Lie raised an eyebrow: "Then you really have no ambition at all."
Jiang Tian was a little embarrassed: "I never had any ambition. In my opinion, as long as a person can live well in this world and have enough to eat and wear, that's enough. How can there be any ambition?"
Perhaps it was precisely because she lacked ambition that their relationship transitioned so smoothly.
Murong Lie said to her, "Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight. You've served me for so long, so I can certainly treat you to a meal."
"No need, I have a monthly allowance. I can treat you to a meal, as long as you don't mind that it's just simple food."
Murong Lie glared at her: "I'm treating you to dinner, is there really so much you're not happy about?"
Jiang Tian couldn't help but shrink her neck: "Then I'll thank you in advance."
"No need to thank me. What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen make it for you."
"Will you come with me?" Jiang Tian asked him expectantly.
"Something's really wrong with you. You used to always have that deadpan expression on your face, why have you suddenly changed?"
Murong Lie deliberately looked at her, wondering if this woman had any ulterior motives.
Jiang Tian's expression instantly fell apart.
She looked at Murong Lie and said, "I have no other intentions. Today is my birthday, and I want to celebrate it properly without offending anyone."
Seeing her righteous indignation, Murong Lie reluctantly believed her.
"Then you can go now. I'll have dinner with you tonight."
His promise brought a smile to Jiang Tian's face instantly.
This was the first time Murong Lie had ever seen her smile.
Murong Lie was suddenly struck by how much importance she placed on her birthday.
If someone values her birthday so much, shouldn't he also show some appreciation?
Is he really just going to treat her to a meal? Wouldn't that be a bit too stingy? After all, he's the Crown Prince.
He clearly has everything, so he should at least show some appreciation.
But what should I give her?
He didn't even know what this woman liked.
"what do you like?"
Seeing that she hadn't gone out the door yet, Murong Lie quickly called her back.
Jiang Tian turned around in surprise: "Are you asking me?"
"Is there anyone else here? It's just you and me. Am I asking the air around me?"
"I don't really like anything, and I don't really dislike anything. If I had to say what I like, it would be freedom."
Jiang Tian thought hard for a while before telling the truth.
"free?"
Murong Lie pondered these two words.
"Yes, I like being free."
"Freedom isn't so easy to come by, at least I can't give you freedom. In this world, who is truly free from constraints? Is there anything else you want?"
Murong Lie's tone suddenly became very heavy, as if he were lost in his own thoughts.
