Fen Yue might not love Tao Kang anymore, that was obvious since she wanted revenge for the years, she spent in his harem, only to find that he did not love her and that all this time he had someone else in his heart!
But she also saw no reason not to use the knowledge she had about Chu Jiayi and his family to get some advantages of some powers that might be interested.
Was she mean and selfish?
Yes, she was.
However, at the same time, she came to confront Chu Jiayi only to confirm that he is the same despicable and selfish person of her past life.
As if this could ease her guilty conscience of some burden.
Of course, she was bound to regret it, because Chu Jiayi is not the same Chu Jiayi of her past life.
He doesn't even want to be the same soul!
"I care about other people's opinions," Chu Jiayi said a little thoughtful, which surprised Fen Yue again.
"The young master doesn't seem to be like that," Fen Yue said a little curious. She was starting to find this young Chu Jiayi strange.
Chu Jiayi is now only 18 years old and he's single, he didn't look like a treacherous person and didn't even behave like men who generally enjoyed flirting with women.
In fact, not once did Chu Jiayi look disrespectfully at Fen Yue. Previously he had looked at Fen Yue with pride and arrogance, but not with disdain or superiority for being a man.
He also did not have a look full of lust or disgust, as some men showed when he saw a voluptuous figure like Fen Yue accompanying the second prince in the same carriage.
What is a huge taboo in ancient society!
What was very much of Chu Jiayi that Fen Yue remembered? Well, who knows after seven years he became the seductive tyrant he was in her past life?
"I care about other people's opinions. Only I can't live based on the opinion of these people who don't live my life. Only I can live my life. I listen to the opinions and that's all," said Chu Jiayi seriously to Fen Yue.
Chu Jiayi didn't lie, even in his past life, he was like that. Other people's opinions can hurt, especially if they are people close to his heart, but life was just him, what did other people know about him?
Would other people live their life for him?
Well, they weren't going to live his life!
Of course, Chu Jiayi always analyzed the opinions of others to know what image he was projecting for people. Whether in the past life or in this present life, Chu Jiayi was a person who had to cherish for his public image.
Only should he stop being happy about it?
He wasn't hurting anyone, so why shouldn't he be happy? Just because people thought he should follow some acceptable social standards?
He didn't do it in his past life, so he wouldn't do the same thing in his current life either. As was the case of bridal with Tao Kang and declaring monogamy to all people.
So, what if men should have four concubines and three wives? So, he didn't have biological children to be his heirs?
What he wanted to be a partner for life and not a harem. Didn't he adopt three beautiful children who are adorable and cute? Why worry about lineage and crap?
These words touched deep into Fen Yue's stone heart as if resounding with her blackened soul.
Yes, why did she have to live like society said she had to live? Why did she let Tao Kang have several women? She should have talked to him and told the truth of her heart!
Chu Lifen, Cheng Huo, or any other woman wasn't really the real problem. The problem was in Tao Kang and herself.
Tao Kang, who let so many women join his harem, but gave no love to any of them and herself was guilty of accepting it and living that kind of life!
She was a martial cultivator and a talented alchemist!
Why did she have to accept this humiliation from being one more in a harem?
"I could have left him..." Fen Yue suddenly thought as if she saw some kind of light before her eyes.
The veil that covered her beautiful phoenix eyes had fallen. Fen Yue seemed to have awakened from a long illusion.
The point is that no one ever pointed out that Fen Yue was wrong. That the life she lived was wrong. On the contrary, all she did was to reproduce everything that other women of this time and of this world did for men.
Of course, this is a society that wants to see women being inferior to men. Even martial artists were prevented by their families and sects from going their own way, they had to marry to bring glory.
There were still some sects that had exceptions like the sects that oblige women to remain single for the rest of their lives, taking away the choice of women as always.
Anyway, no one told Fen Yue that fighting for his territory and the position of the first wife using any means was wrong. Because society dictates that this is true, that a woman can only achieve something if she has the support of her husband in everything.
Therefore, she was shocked by Chu Jiayi's words, which for Fen Yue was an assumed cut sleeve, at least she thought that because of her past life. Men who were considered cut sleeves were considered even more inferior than women in this world.
Chu Jiayi declaring that he doesn't care what others think, also shows his strong mental power and of course his own strength, because he was strong so he can keep his head up.
Of course, there was the question that Chu Jiayi had already become the most loved in the region, long before Tao Kang appeared in his life and made him "come out of the closet". So, people would only hate Tao Kang, if there was any hatred against the cut sleeves.
However, Fen Yue did not know this, since she had just arrived in the region, besides, the information that reaches the empire is quite restricted thanks to the power of the Chu Family.
Well, Tao Kang is an immortal realms cultivator, so people also didn't dare to speak badly of him around easily, they feared for their lives and didn't have their brains wet with water.
The red stone flashed a few times, the dangerous and malicious aura that was emitted from the stone began to slowly decrease. Only no one noticed that.
Chu Jiayi was surprised when he saw Fen Yue start laughing as if she were crazy, he looked confused at this woman who should be a broad-hearted female leader and an intelligent person. Now she just looked like a crazy, a little sad woman?
"Yes, yes, the words of the young Master Chu are very true! I'm the only idiot of all this!" said Fen Yue among laughter, the little maid next to her walked away from a little frightened by her lady's attitudes.
Fen Yue really found herself an idiot!
She wasted her beautiful youth and her good life with this whole harem and thirst for power, just for what?
To kill the man that she supposedly loved for all those years!
In the end, she ended up dying full of resentment and regrets!
Her family had died, but she was far away and cannot protect them. She was fighting with the other women in the harem. Her friends when they needed help, she refused to help because she was busy with the harem schemes in favor of Tao Kang.
She was really pathetic!
"Miss, are you okay?" asked Chu Jiayi politely when he saw Fen Yue stop laughing and show a serious expression and with her eyes full of sadness!
"I wonder if I had talked to you before, could I have lived a different life?" Fen Yue mumbled as if speaking to herself these words.
Of course, Fen Yue has no idea what Chu Jiayi she met in her past life had died three years ago. Now the soul that was in this body was that of a woman who had lived in the modern world and who had previously become a woman above all.
Even with Chu Jiayi's body, this soul could shine and dazzle everyone by showing off his beautiful and powerful side.
"What? I couldn't understand?" asked Chu Jiayi looking confused. However, his heart was beating very fast, for he had heard everything Fen Yue had said.
"She really is just like Tao Kang! The female leader was also reborn!" thought Chu Jiayi worried and curious.
How many more people were reborn in this world?
Which made him wonder if there would also be people who transmigrated into this world or people who reincarnated.
"I didn't say anything important. And I thought I'd come here to teach a lesson to a demoness, but I actually ended up learning a hard lesson," Fen Yue said with mockery.
"I don't understand," said Chu Jiayi looking suspiciously at Fen Yue, who had a strangely peaceful look, which did not match her previous attitude.
"I'm not going to try to play kids' games anymore. I intended to annoy you and then give you some information that would make you kneel at my feet. But it seems like I can't do that anymore," Fen Yue said with an ironic smile.
Here was the awareness Fen Yue thought she fed to the wolves!
