"Selena, you'll never truly understand the relation between him and me. Perhaps even I cannot fully grasp it," Ji Qian squeezed out a faint smile.

In the eyes of a Westerner like Selena, one-night stands are a normal affair where two people simply take what they need without psychological burden. The same goes for breakups; once a relationship is over, why should one still cling to another?
"Lady, since you care so much about the Netherworld King, why not approach him, pursue him?" Selena asked.
"Selena, in eastern traditions, pursuing a married man is highly dishonorable. I cannot do that," Ji Qian shook her head. She was a proud woman, unable to bear the disgrace of being labeled a 'mistress'.
