She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Song Yuheng clenched his fist, unable to refute any further because her words made complete sense.

"You’re just slightly better than them, but honestly, you’re no good either. You’re truly not qualified to resent me." Ah Chen scolded with a smile, her words light but hitting Song Yuheng’s heart heavily.

Suddenly, he understood why Fan Shi refused his offer.

Fan Shi previously asked if he dared to act against his father and siblings. He thought the other was joking and left angrily, never intending to recruit someone with such rebellious ideas. Even as a joke, he felt it was excessive.

Now, another person with similar views to Fan Shi turns out to be the Nan Qi Ninth Princess; he no longer thinks Fan Shi was joking before.

Actually, he understands that many hate the Bei Qi Royal Family, but they can’t resist. He prides himself on being different but only in not preventing it. Just as the Nan Qi Ninth Princess said, he lacks the ability to stop it. On reflection, he also raises slaves, like the twin sisters, who were originally raised to serve a future purpose, such as saving Cui Jing.

Unlike his siblings, who mistreat people, they live fairly stable lives before serving their purpose, willingly when needed.

"If this world were stable, if the Bei Qi Royal Family acted humanely, they’d be ordinary citizens, living boring yet stable lives and not playthings for entertainment." Ah Chen said, "Some might say it’s fate, but who decided this fate? They’re weak, indeed survival is hard, and they face humiliation. But that doesn’t mean they should be humiliated."

"Nothing lasts forever, and the Bei Qi Royal Family is the same."

"Someone will eventually overthrow all this."

Even if she didn’t come here because of the commissioner, someone will surely appear in the future to settle everything.

Because everyone in this world is human, not unintelligent beasts; someone will find all this intolerable and eradicate these tumors completely. Being human means pursuing a better life, having dreams, and there will be those who bear the world’s responsibilities. This is the law of history; no matter how long the world exists, this principle never changes.

And humans never learn, always repeating history.

"You don’t seem like the type to send Cui Jing here." Song Yuheng suddenly said, looking at Ah Chen with complex emotions, feeling puzzled inside.

He must admit he had some dislike towards Song Chen before, but the recent words made him feel unqualified to harbor that dislike. She was right; if anyone should be disliked, it should be Bei Qi, Nan Qi, and his relatives. Song Chen sent Cui Jing over, which made him resent her. But when his siblings humiliate Cui Jing, he only thinks to send medicine and comfort, never considering to dislike them.

Song Yuheng swayed slightly, subconsciously feeling that’s just what his siblings would do, it’s very normal, he’s used to it.

"You’re right, after all, I grew up in this mire, truly not a good thing either." Song Yuheng closed his eyes fleetingly, sighing inwardly, grateful he decided to send Cui Jing back. Otherwise, leaving her in Bei Qi, if one day he changed beyond recognition, Cui Jing would surely be frightened?

Even Cui Jing might change; he dare not imagine what life would be like if she transformed, just thinking about it is sad.

She must be sent back.

But he still doesn’t understand why Song Chen would send Cui Jing here. Based on their contact, she doesn’t seem like such a person, not one to say things that provoke deep thought.

He thought of Fan Shi again; if these two met, they’d surely have common discourse. Their ideas are astonishingly consistent.

"You are not mire; mire actually isn’t dirty; it’s even nourishing, supporting plant growth and protecting water bodies, improving water quality; mire has substantial functions."

"What can you do? In life you exploit, in death you monopolize a large plot for a tomb. How is the tomb built? Those slaves constructed it. You made no contributions to this world, not even fertilizing as a corpse — utterly useless." Ah Chen scolded mercilessly, speaking veritably that the Bei Qi people harm others alive and occupy space in death, perceived as non-recyclable waste everywhere.

Song Yuheng opened his mouth, finding himself unable to refute a single word; she was entirely correct, and this was the first time he was scolded so harshly without a crude word. Yet not only was he not angry, he saw through his essence, feeling deeply saddened.

Someone like him, how could he ever be worthy of such a wonderful girl as Cui Jing?

Ah Chen doesn’t know his thoughts; if she knew, she would certainly laugh aloud.

"You are indeed a bit better than others," Ah Chen said again, "Should the others hear this, they would think of how to torture me now rather than reflect. If you weren’t in the Bei Qi Royal Family, perhaps you’d truly be a good person."

The root isn’t bad, just influenced by the environment— unavoidable.

Even showing a bit of innocence, which seems rather discordant.

Song Yuheng felt conflicted, saying: "You won’t have it easy in Bei Qi, take care."

"I truly am not a good thing, you’re right," he said, "Because of Cui Jing, I still won’t help you."

Unclear why she sent Cui Jing here; she truly did, so he can’t ignore it.

He won’t do anything to her, but won’t interfere either.

Since she didn’t deny sending Cui Jing, there’s no hidden reason.

Song Yuheng still found it hard to face Ah Chen, not waiting for her to speak more, he walked away quickly with some embarrassment, as if fleeing from something.

Ah Chen hadn’t expected Song Yuheng to do anything, just saw him, scolding him a bit, only wishing to scold a few words.

She stepped toward the house, the door was open; she guessed someone arrived, indeed going inside to see a handsome, tall, elegantly dressed man sitting inside. From appearance, quite distinguished, yet this Bei Qi Royal Family truly has no good things.

"You finally returned, been waiting for you, Nan Qi Ninth Princess." It was Eldest Prince Song Muyun, leaning against the chair, his eyes on Ah Chen, flashing with astonishment, she was a beauty, the kind he liked.

"Close the door." He casually commanded; the guards at the door seemingly understood the situation, immediately pulling the door shut.

"I am the Bei Qi Eldest Prince." Song Muyun stood up, walking to Ah Chen, leaning to whisper in her ear, "Little beauty, you must remember."

"When you’re summoned by Father Emperor, who knows what fright awaits, why not make a good story with me today. Even if I can’t keep you intact, but as long as I’m around, you’ll suffer less, how about it?"

"Even if you don’t agree, it’s okay, I don’t mind whether you agree or not. If you don’t agree, there’s the thrill of not agreeing; if you do agree, there’s the joy of agreeing."

"I like it all!"

Ah Chen raised her eyes to meet his gaze: "I will resist."
