She sat in front of the mirror for days, her mind racing. She had been racking her brains for days, but her mind was still a mess, and she couldn't find a way to avoid hurting Ji Zhuo.
Just then, the door lock behind me rattled without warning, the crisp sound particularly clear in the quiet night.
