Although she did not grow up in the imperial palace, she led a carefree and unrestricted life. Being forcibly married off to the Yun Kingdom would be like cruelly surrounding her life with insurmountable high walls. She would surely not find happiness."
"I will not let this happen," Chen Feng said.

If you want to help her now, the only way is to join my household and assist the Second Prince in ascending to power. As long as the Second Prince becomes the heir apparent, stopping this marriage will be a piece of cake."
"So, you are threatening me now?"
