Yan qingsi did not want Xia rushuang to die. She wanted her to live, to live well.
Sometimes, death wasn't the most painful thing. Living a life worse than death was even more terrifying.
Yan qingsi knew very well that what she had done was cruel, but there was nothing in this world that was not cruel.
Her mother had been 'killed' by Xia rushuang when she was only five years old. Xia rushuang had erased Xiao' AI's existence, and then 20 years later, she had erased nie qiuping's existence. What right did she have to deprive others of their chance to live?
She wanted to pay Xia rushuang back in double the pain that his mother had suffered that year.
Even if Xia rushuang wanted to die, she wouldn't let her die this time. She wouldn't let Xia rushuang dirty her mother's eyes.
