*Warning: If you don't want to read about a seemingly immoral dealing (that might gross out some of you) …. You can choose to skip this chapter and the previous chapter. However, you might skip some points regarding the story related to Shangguan Die and 'Shangguan Yi.' Plus, there's a small spoiler at the author's note for explanation of the deal *
In fact, Shangguan Die was not surprised.
She had known about this for quite some time.
When everyone else were scared out of the daylights when they saw her face, he never even flinch. In fact, there were only anger and heartache when he saw her. Even though he couldn't get close to her because of the custom here, his gaze when he looked at her was still the same as ever.
Because of that, Shangguan Die knew very well that he cared for her greatly.
Not in the way a sibling would care for each other.
"I know."
"So…"
"I have one task for you, Brother."
"I'm listening."
