Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate.
She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish.
She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone.
She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear!
If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it.
If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive.
No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix!
“What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?”
“That’s right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?"

Shao Zhengyang? Lu Mingshu furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

Aside from Gao Xiang, Shao Zhengyang was the one that gave her the most favourable impression. Back when she was in a predicament, it was him and his master who gave her a helping hand. But now, he was also the one that she loathed the most.

Why him and not Zhou Yinru, who tried to kill her, or Jie Wenhan, who didn't help her? Why Shao Zhengyang?

He only wanted to help Lu Mingshu because he wanted to use her for his schemes.

In fact, Lu Mingshu didn't really hate him, because there wasn't any reason for Shao Zhengyang to help her in the first place. She was just disgusted by how fake he was, just like how she was disgusted by that ungrateful father of hers and how all the Nine Jade Palace cared about were benefits.

Benefits. It was all about the benefits. It was as if that was the only thing worth treasuring in the whole world.
