Chapter 110

Xiao Wuji had never encountered a situation quite as nauseating as this. He felt as though a layer of sticky, impossible-to-remove filth had coated his entire body, making his skin crawl. He wanted nothing more than to slap the person in front of him—that creature who could make him sick even while simply eating. He had already planned everything out: once inside, he would work on drawing closer to Yuan Yiran. Whether by admitting fault or offering sympathy, he had to convince him that he would never let him suffer any injustice. He needed to project kindness toward Yuan Yiran, admiration for the Yuan family, submission to Empress Yuan, and gratitude to His Majesty. There were so many roles to play that no matter how disgusting it felt or what unexpected situations arose, he had to keep acting.
