In truth, Gu Chenxi was not a person who liked to cry.
On the contrary, from childhood, she had always been exceptionally proud and strong-willed. The shadows of her upbringing had caused her to develop a habit of wrapping herself in a hard shell of arrogance and indifference, a way to protect the softness within and prevent herself from being bullied or hurt.
Yet, in front of Kong Liu, she would always voluntarily shed that thick, defensive shell. She would reveal her most authentic self to him without reservation, showing that she was not the unworldly "goddess" everyone else perceived her to be. She could cry, she could throw tantrums, and she could lay bare all her emotions—good and bad—before the person closest to her.
