I sighed loudly as I pulled the hair ornament from my hair. What the hell am I even doing? Lady White Lotus…what a joke? Why am I bothering with all this training when I know deep down that I would never be able to match Jeely.
The question that nagged me at the back of my mind all day was…if Jeely was here then why would they need me to act as Lady White Lotus? No matter how I looked at it, subjectively or objectively, there was no way that Ren wouldn’t enjoy Jeely’s company…or the company of the other women like her. I haven’t met them, but I was sure that there was more than one high-ranking concubine in this inner court.
