She, has always refused to let go of her childhood pride.
Initially, he forced her into submission in the harshest way possible, which made her despise him to the bone.
At twenty, she abandoned her husband, followed a man she thought was worthy of her, only to end up being violently mistreated.
Yet, it was he who raised her from the rain when she was at her most helpless moment.
Fate brought her back to her eighteenth year, for a do-over. She emerged from her cocoon, when hate was replaced by regret, she shed her thorny exterior, but does she still have the right to pursue happiness?
But why does he always remind her in the coldest voice, "He Zhilan, I don't want the He Family to raise an ungrateful wretch."
Or menacingly warn her, "He Zhilan, don't force me to take away your freedom!"

"I'd like to know what the Gu Family is really up to as well. They've done so many infuriating things before, and now they're over here reprimanding Gu En, as if they're siding with He Zhilan. But if you listen carefully, it seems like they don't really care about He Zhilan either. They're just angry that Gu En betrayed the Gu Family and tarnished their reputation, that Gu En schemed against them—that's all," said Chen Yun. "Think about it: can power really compare to a daughter who's been missing for over a decade and suddenly resurfaces? The Gu Family helped elevate the Shen Family to a higher status, pushing them to become practically second to none, perhaps even making them beholden to the Gu Family despite their rise. They're smart—raising the Shen Family as a puppet is far more convenient than taking the highest position themselves."
