She gave Qiao Xiuyu a reproachful look: "Does Lu Lang not believe me? Your zither playing is filled with sorrow and joy, and joy and melancholy. I have never heard such moving music before."
Qiao Xiuyu was moved.
Back in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, everyone said his zither playing was terrible, but no one understood what he wanted to express through his music! Unexpectedly, this Princess of Southern Chen was... his soulmate!
He immediately grasped Shang Shaoyan's hand and exclaimed, "Princess, you are the first person to understand my music."
Shang Shaoyan: "?"
Pupil earthquake.
She felt that... she had overestimated Qiao Xiuyu once again.

On the other side, Shang Yunlan was reading a book, occasionally scribbling on a piece of paper next to her.
Before going into business, he studied engineering, and his biggest dream was to become an engineer; if he hadn't had to support his younger sister, he would never have strived to become the richest man in China.
Now that's great, he has a heart condition, so no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants. These people are afraid he'll die tomorrow, so the work of striving can be left to Shang Shaoyan!
He looked at the steelmaking method he had written on the paper, thinking to himself that it would be Shang Shaoyan's birthday in the spring, and he would give this to her as a birthday gift. She would definitely be very happy, after all, he was raising a village of soldiers in the suburbs.

He just sent this servant to protect Shang Shaoyan's Mingyue Tower today, so how could there be something fishy going on?
Unlike Shang Shaoyan, a staunch materialist, Shang Yunlan was a very superstitious person. Although he was an engineering student, he firmly believed in the saying, "The end of mathematics is physics, the end of physics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology." So, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
In an instant, a flood of thoughts rushed through his mind—someone wanted to harm Shang Shaoyan, someone had died unjustly at Mingyue Tower, the original Shang Shaoyan's soul still lingered...
No, I can't think about it anymore, or he'll have a heart attack and die tonight!
He was a little scared, but he kept his composure and tried his best to remain calm: "What does that ghost look like?"
