"Dreams?"

Mo Yuanhao frowned, instinctively distrustful of this explanation, yet unable to find a reason to doubt it.

If any other woman had spoken to him about these words, he would have scoffed disdainfully. But Su Qianxue, even if he didn’t want to admit it, she was different from other women.

"What are your dreams?"

Seeing him respond, Su Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, putting on an extremely serious facade, passionately fabricating reasons.

"My dream, well, saying it out loud might make the Prince laugh at me, think I’m overestimating myself, or daydreaming, but I don’t care; it doesn’t matter to me."

"My dream is to accomplish something that will shock the world, shatter the prejudices against women, and vindicate women."

"This world is very unfair to women, oppressing and restraining them at every turn, shackling them heavily, forcing women to depend on men for survival. Such long-term oppression has even led women to think this way."

"Women cannot appear in public, cannot take the civil service exams, cannot contradict their husbands, cannot establish their own households, cannot violate the Three Obediences and Four Virtues..."

"But clearly, women are people too. Why can men do anything, while women face countless restrictions, unable to do this, unable to do that?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Why must women always be seen as inferior to men? Why does the public believe women are not as good as men?"

"I must show everyone that women are also capable of being the other half of the sky, no less than anyone. Women too can achieve remarkable feats and be enshrined in history, admired by future generations."

"The Prince has noble status and extraordinary ability, and can provide me with a better stage, so the Prince is my carefully chosen partner."

"And I can bring countless benefits to the Prince in return, creating a mutually beneficial win-win situation. Surely the Prince won’t refuse, right?"

[The host made a great point. After hearing that, the male lead will surely think that being chosen by the host shows her good judgment.]

The system chimed in with flattery at the right time. Su Qianxue ignored it, but she felt very pleased internally, thinking her spontaneous speech was fantastic.

So passionate, so unprecedented, so unique—that must have deeply shocked the male lead, making him realize she’s different from all the other women in this world.

Maybe he would even think that only someone as unique as her is worthy of him.

If that’s true, then great, her strategy could achieve instant success.

To be honest, this male lead is really difficult to win over. As beautiful and skillful as she is, with a system by her side, any other man would have fallen into the trap long ago.

But not him. Despite her efforts, he remains unmoved.

When this mission emerged, it coincided with Yun Wanyao unilaterally breaking their engagement, casting him aside. She thought her chance had come, thus abandoning other missions to focus all her energy on him.

For this period, she almost watched him daily, racking her brains to seduce him, yet he didn’t even spare her a glance, seemingly wanting to take out his anger on her because of Yun Wanyao.

Thinking of this, Su Qianxue couldn’t help but grit her teeth, her mood souring instantly.

"You speak well. Indeed, this Prince will not refuse the cooperation, but neither will I inquire further. I will delegate all matters concerning this collaboration to Chi Yun."

"In the future, regarding the cooperation, you may approach Chi Yun directly and need not appear before me again."

With that, Mo Yuanhao left expressionless in large strides.

However, inside, waves of turmoil rendered his outward calmness deceptive.

When he first heard this woman’s words, he was greatly shocked, initially thinking she had an extraordinary, unconventional mind, truly a unique and dazzling woman.

But as he pondered further, somehow, Yun Wanyao’s previous words burst into his mind, leaving him in a cold sweat.

This made him belatedly realize that Yun Wanyao’s dreams might not be false.

If not for Yun Wanyao’s previous words, perhaps he would have indeed been uncontrollably drawn to Su Qianxue, nurturing a deep interest, leading the story to unfold as Yun Wanyao had dreamt.

How could such bizarre things happen in the world?

Why did Yun Wanyao dream of those things?

Could it be she truly has some foresight, warning him to stay away from danger?

The more Mo Yuanhao thought, the more troubled he became, suddenly feeling like a puppet on strings, life manipulated by a mysterious unknown force.
