A wave of listlessness washed over her.
Watching Tang Juanmei slurping her congee down below, Gu Nuan Nuan suddenly felt it. For the first time, she found herself truly reflecting. 'Was my perspective in my last life too narrow? Was I really caught up my entire life in entanglements with an uncultured country woman like her? All just to fight for the same man's attention... Isn't that just ridiculous?'
She lowered her head, lost in thought, not even noticing when the three people below had left.
Gu Nuan Nuan never imagined she would stay so long in this "dream." Decades drifted by in a haze, and she remained trapped inside the villa where she had lived in her past life. She watched her daughter, Shengnan, grow from a small child, experiencing all the love and pain of youth. She saw her grow up day by day under the devoted care of her father and maternal grandmother, until she finally, reluctantly, left home to find her own happiness.
