"Tell me, what is so great about Cang Xuan? Fine, he is reasonably good-looking, and now he is an emperor with absolute power over the world. But he has way too many women! Xiangliu, the last time I went back to Xiyan Mountain, I checked his pulse—he falls far, far short of you. And yet he has all those women!
