"You're right, living life for oneself will be very difficult, but the outcome is surely freedom," Xu Musen softly replied with a chuckle.
Actually, Zhu Yulan's situation now is very similar to his past life.
One was to marry a rich gentleman, the other to marry into wealth as a kept man.
In others' eyes, though they lost their freedom, they were set for life in terms of food and clothing; it all seemed worthwhile.
But only those who have truly experienced it know that such a life, restricted and puppet-like, can crush a person.
After all, one lives this life for oneself, and whether it's good or bad, only they can truly know.
Zhu Xianglan squinted her eyes, staring at Xu Musen for a good while. Xu Musen spoke calmly, yet there was a kind of firmness in his tone that was immovable.
This firmness… it was just like her former self.
Just that…
Zhu Xianglan quietly chuckled, "Freedom comes at a cost, can she bear it?"
