"Effort?" Xu Pei scoffed coldly. "What's the use? I worked so hard, studied earnestly, and strived to better myself, all in the hope that one day, I could return to Emperor View and, together with Zimo, create the Hollywood of the East, our own Dream Factory. How foolish I was. Years of effort, only to make a wedding dress for someone else!"
"Do you really intend to give up so easily?" Tang Ming asked.
Xu Pei listlessly sipped her porridge, "What else can I do?"
"Love isn't everything in a person's life. Don't you have your own dreams aside from Leng Zimo?"
Dreams?
Xu Pei paused.
Ever since the Xu family's incident, she lived her life in a daze. After that affair, her world became utterly bleak, until Leng Zimo used his protection to carve out a piece of the heavens for her world.
Leng Zimo became her dream.
What he desired was what she desired, what he aimed to achieve, was also what she wished to fulfill.
