But they chose the simplest and most brutal method.
The simplest and most brutal, yet the most effective.
People always think that officials compete based on who is the most cunning and employs the most brilliant schemes. But that's not always true. Sometimes, their methods are appallingly simple and brutal.
Even to the point of reckless stupidity.
But what can be done?

This is the most tragic thing.

She wasn't blaming herself; she just felt small, ridiculous, and that she had brought this all upon herself—it served her right! If you want to die, then die alone! Why drag Huang Xiaojue down with you?
She didn't know when Li Zhen had left.
She just fell asleep, leaning against the back of the chair.
「Evening.」
