When Fengyu was in West State, she held absolute authority as the City Lord, even Nangong Jin, who was known for his rigid adherence to etiquette, treated her with great respect. The noble ladies showered her with flattery and sought to curry her favor, and she responded with effortless grace. This was all familiar to her, unlike the initial restraint she exhibited upon her arrival in the Capital City. Occasionally, sharp remarks would reach her ears, but Fengyu brushed them off like the wind passing by. She had faced countless overt attacks and hidden barbs; if she were to take offense at every word, her days would become insufferable. This was why Fengyu, at such a young age, had developed a composure that even Su Yuejiao lacked.
Power and wealth are fine things. They can silently and subtly change many matters, including altering the disposition of one's heart.
