The world's most noble man was right in front of her. She began imagining her future—she would be living a life full of fortune and honor. She was just one step away from being this noble man's favorite concubine.

She lifted her head only to see the man's unconcerned expression. He remained standing where he was with a stoic expression, not even bothering to look at her. Li Tong'er suddenly felt flustered.
