Bab 111: Forgiveness was bittersweet

Liu Sumeng's headache had grown to a magnitude that not even he had a grasp on anymore. He was not equipped to deal with all these complex interpersonal relationships that were clearly now spiraling out of control.

What he had thought was simple: Xuelan liked Anyue. Xuelan was upset by the engagement. Anyue also liked Xuelan. But was forced to accept the engagement made between their sects.

It seemed like an easy problem, at least in Liu Sumeng's mind, but it was how he had interpreted the situation from his previous life. Clearly, something went off course somewhere. Or maybe he had simply been wrong the entire time.

Either was a strong possibility because Liu Sumeng was never good at dealing with people in the first place, from his last life to this one as well.

He sighed, thoughts muddled. Sleep was fitful and restless and he almost jolted out of his room several times in the middle of the night to hunt down Xuelan and demand answers.
