At that moment, Min Ming's emotions were complex, but thinking that this way she could be spared and Min Ning was allowed some concession, she felt a sense of relief and her perception of him improved. The thought of later moving into his residence seemed not so unbearable.
But not until the disappearance of Yuchun Ointment did she truly realize that things were dire.

In the past, when Chen Yi still showed interest in her voluptuous figure, she could rely on her looks to pull some strings and toss out that sole bait. But now, the situation was entirely different; even if she offered herself to him, he wouldn't take her.
Empress An's phoenix-like eyes coldly fixated on her, asking meaningfully:
"Quite the deliberation, Min Ming... Is it that you think too highly of yourself, or is it that he simply has no interest in you anymore?"
Min Ming shivered.
