In her previous life, Mu Hanyan's only friend of the same sex was Yi Qinglian. Yi Qinglian was a bit chubby, with an apple-shaped face that easily blushed with shyness. She was gentle and considerate, genuinely fond of Mu Hanyan from the bottom of her heart. In that past life, she married an old man old enough to be her father just to help Mu Hanyan.
By the time Mu Hanyan had fallen into dire straits and was rescued, she learned that Yi Qinglian had traded her lifetime of happiness for her safety. Back then, how much she hated her own powerlessness. And yet, Yi Qinglian still comforted her with a gentle and shy smile, claiming that the man would treat her well and dote on her.
