Once you stand at the peak of power, that very power will draw people to serve you devotedly, bending over backwards to do your bidding.
This taste of power can be addicting, rallying people into madness, just like Teacher Liu in the past.
Even though Teacher Liu wasn't the true beholder of power, as long as she held sway in front of others, she would have access to resources and connections that would overwhelmingly favor her.
Looking back at myself, it seemed that after being despised by some people with power, others were too afraid to approach me, for fear of being tainted and losing their own interests.
This is the world of power nowadays, relationships are measured by money and power.
Lin Shu only hoped she could keep her original intentions, not to be blinded by the overwhelming power. She didn't want to become like Teacher Liu, submerged and carried away in the vortex of power, finally becoming a puppet driven by money and power.
