"That just made me more defiant. I had to prove to you that your so-called persistence was nothing in the face of my charm.
I wanted to seduce you, to bully you, until I was the only one in your eyes, just to prove that I was the most exceptional woman."
Shang Miaoyan chuckled softly, the corners of her eyes turning a faint red. With a hint of self-mockery, she asked, "Very childish, isn't it?"
She looked up at the faint glow of the Luminous Pearl above. A relieved smile touched her lips, but her eyes held a trace of imperceptible loneliness.
"From the day I was born, the Sect Leader and everyone around me told me that I was the one who would lead the Yin Yang Sacred Land to glory.
Everyone praised me, revered me, feared me... No one taught me how to love someone, and no one taught me how to be loved.
Xiaohan, I don't ask for your forgiveness for all the wicked things I did to you, but I won't give up on pursuing you... Only, I won't resort to those wicked ways again."
