Shi Yiqing, the world's female protagonist in this story, was exploited by the Heavenly Dao, promoted on the corpses of cannon fodder.
An Xiaoya, on the other hand, was attached to supernatural phenomena.
According to what An Xiaoya said, it was her "dream" of the past.
Obviously, she, the female lead, was also being controlled.
She said she did some irrational things for the Ghost King, which she clearly wouldn't do when she was lucid.
But she did them in her "dream."
This could prove that the Heavenly Dao's arranged female protagonist isn't that keen on being with the male lead.
After all, not everyone has the awareness of being the "female lead."
For those who climb on top of others openly and see no problem with it, Shi Yaoguang wouldn't comment much.
The only thing to say is...
emmm...
Forget it, she doesn't want to say anything.
Since they were bound to face off anyway, it was truly unnecessary to worry about such vexing issues.
Awkward.
