Is this about her?
She doesn't love a high-ranking official in purple robes; she loves him when he's nothing but a hedonist with no great ambitions.
Ling Hua looked at Yan Qing with an indescribable expression, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh, and not sure if his words were true or false, but she had a lot to say, "If you say so, brother, did you divine my coming from the Push-back Diagram? Since you did, you might have been too clever by half and made a directionally wrong decision. You should not have started with yourself; you should have started with me. If I had met you when you were making waves in the court, bustling about for the well-being of the people from dawn to dusk, I probably wouldn't have planned to marry you."
Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, "Why not? Isn't that what you're doing now?"
The implication was, you're doing this yourself, so why look down on me?
