"Mom, I understand. I'll do everything in my power to break the family curse," I said solemnly, and my mom was overjoyed.
"Obedient children are the good ones," she beamed, looking like a schemer who had succeeded in her plot. "So, have you taken a fancy to someone yet?"
Ha, she was actually trying to worm it out of me! But who am I, so I shook my head rationally without blushing or skipping a beat.
It's not that I want to lie to her, but I have no confidence in winning over Lin Zexiu. What's his status? What's mine? Even the young and beautiful girls can't catch up to him, let alone me? He'd have to be blind to fall for me. But I had decided that if I was going to be crazy, I might as well go all out to see if a miracle would happen. Isn't love supposed to be blind anyway?
Besides, I had some theoretical basis for this. They say no hero has a good wife, and the lazy man reaches for the blossoming branches. Similarly, since I'm no heroine, I must be able to marry a hero!
