Yun Qinglian was silent for a moment, then chuckled bitterly, "As a woman, living in this world is inherently difficult. Being born into the Royal Family only adds to the burden. Although we enjoy the envy of others with our fineries and delicacies, we lack freedom, and there are many things beyond our control.
So, we must fight; to not fight is to die. Even though the hope of victory is slim, it's better than no hope at all, don't you think?"
Qin Yi: "…"
He didn't know what to say. In this lifetime, who can act entirely on their whims? Most people have too many constraints.
"So, you're saying you don't want to fight for the throne at all?"
Yun Qinglian looked at Qin Yi, laughing derisively, "Young Master Qin, it's not a matter of wanting or not wanting. Do I have a choice? If Yun Susu hadn't met you, if Yun Baixuan became Emperor, do you think he'd spare Yun Susu's life? Or mine? Or the Eldest Prince's?"
