The next day.

  “Madam, are you heading out?” asked the servant of the main house who saw Shi Sheng walking out, trying to stop her.

  Shi Sheng stared at him fiercely, and the hairs on the back of the servant’s neck rose. Defeated, the servant stepped aside, “Please travel safe, madam.”


  Shi Sheng took a man in a servant’s uniform with her and left. The previous servant was a little surprised.

  Shi Sheng swaggered out of the main house with Ling Yi.

  “Is this really okay?” Ling Yi asked in a low voice as he hung his head low next to Shi Sheng.

  “‘I don’t know.”


  Ling Yi stared at Shi Sheng in disbelief, “.……”

  Unlike Shi Sheng, Ling Yi was betting his life on this mission right now. If he was found out by Leng Yan, let alone seeing Ying Su, he wouldn’t even be able to see tomorrow’s sun.

  “I won’t die either way.” Shi Sheng retorted irresponsibly.

  Ling Yi felt as if an arrow had shot through his heart. How could he have believed in this woman so easily? Is it too late for him to turn back now?

  Ling Yi glanced behind them and noticed several bodyguards following them from a distance.

  “You should be more positive, young man.” Shi Sheng said earnestly. “As the saying goes, ‘Though death befalls all men alike, it may be weightier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather *’, is it not? If you’re not even willing to risk a little danger to see your sweetheart, can it even be considered true love at all? “


  [T/L note: This is a well known Chinese idiom, 人固有一死，或重于泰山或轻于鸿毛, which means “To lay down one’s life for a noble cause is worthwhile”]

  Ling Yi felt his heart shudder, there’s no way he’s going to fall for this toxic chicken soup for the soul.

  “How do you know so much?” Ling Yi asked, “I didn’t tell you that I liked Ying Su last night.”


  Shi Sheng recomposed herself, “But you just did.”


  “.……”

  thought Ling Yi to himself.

  Shi Sheng shook her head upon seeing Ling Yi confused.

  Ling Yi’s character setting probably consisted of the attributes of a secondary character. His IQ wasn’t that high, but he’s the type to have excellent luck. So this meant that even though he may not be smart enough, he’ll be able to survive thanks to his luck.

  Some people can live to the ending by just depending on their luck.

  Unlucky characters like hers usually won’t even survive the first episode. Shi Sheng felt a sense of pride, knowing that she managed to survive until the finale.

  “Madam, you can’t go in.”


  When they reached Leng Yan’s place, a bodyguard on duty blocked Shi Sheng from entering.

  “Why?” Shi Sheng asked in a serious tone.

  “.……”
