Chapter 101: Deceiving the Lord with Good Intentions

Deceive the Emperor, yes, Chu Yu intended to deceive the Emperor.

The current Chu Yu had a very contradictory and fragmented impression of Liu Ziyue, the Emperor. On one hand, she feared the power that Liu Ziyue held; as the Emperor, he could have her killed with a single word. On the other hand, she did not have much respect for Liu Ziyue as the Emperor.

Chu Yu, hailing from the 21st century, inherently rejected the concept of divine right and didn't have a strong sense of class consciousness. To her, a person was just a person, not better or worse due to their position or the power they wielded.

She understood what class was and knew how to exploit it; she even stood at the apex of this so-called hierarchy. However, deep inside, she could never truly engrain the notion of a system that ranked people into her consciousness.
