    I was not only a pawn of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also a pawn in Lanling Mingting's hands. In my past life, and even now, I believed he loved me wholeheartedly. I never imagined it was all just an act. Without seeing things from a higher perspective, I wouldn't have known I was just a fool, believing in being loved. Yet, he truly died at the hands of the Xiongnu to save me. Don't be foolish; perhaps he was just paying the price for the last shred of his conscience, or perhaps he saved me to save the child because I was carrying his child. A chill ran through her as she pondered this, her pupils dilating, a coldness spreading through her body. Pressed against the wall, she slowly slid down, collapsing to the ground, tears welling in her eyes. Her heart felt like it was being violently squeezed, twisting in pain, almost suffocating her. At that moment, the entire edifice of her world collapsed, and the voice of Yu Meiren echoed in her ears repeatedly. "Young Master, the marriage arrangements for the Great Xia princess must be expedited; the pawn must be delivered to Lanling as soon as possible." These words were like sharp daggers, piercing her heart again and again, each time deeper than the last. She tried desperately to calm herself, but the pain only intensified with each blow. Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, drawing crimson blood, yet she felt no pain, only an overwhelming agony that made it hard to breathe. It's alright. Having been reborn, how could I, An Yiyou, allow myself to be manipulated by those from the past? If he sees me as a pawn, then I will fulfill my duties as a pawn.
