A night passed.
After a day like that, Wu Han and Luo Lan separated so she could rest. There was a lot for a homebound princess like her to think about.
And that was exactly what he wanted.
Luo Lan might look mature on the outside, but she had never been allowed to grow properly. Living in confinement had left cracks in her, spaces that could be shaped.
She stood at the edge of freedom now.
After spending her whole life as a puppet, she was ready to grab at anything that looked like release.
For Wu Han, there was no better soil.
If she had grown up like a normal person, this would never have worked. Society would have planted morality deep in her bones, made her reject him without hesitation.
Right now, she only acted like a normal person because it was all she had ever been told to be.
And the moment she made her choice…
He would gain the finest kind of servant.
What that truly meant, only time would reveal.
