A Thousand Pieces of Gold Are Worthless

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who follow the rules, and those who make the rules. People who abide by the rules believe that standards are a fair starting line. If you score enough, you can be admitted, if you reach the weight limit, you can play, if you have endured enough years, you can be promoted, and if you have saved enough down payment, you can have a home. In the eyes of those who make the rules, standards are just playthings. They are excellent, knowledgeable, and quick-witted, but they are also conceited, mean, and high-minded. Drawing a line casually is the end point that others cannot reach in their lifetime. Nian Mo Yuan has been humble and arrogant. "Talent can be disguised, and origin can be faked. For an excellent con artist, 'they' are the strongest fuel for the scam." Nian Moyuan made up a story for herself. She knew how to make a man feel that she needed protection, how to make her sponsor feel that she was worth cultivating, and how to make her opponent feel that she was evenly matched with her. She understood the rules of the game played by the superiors, and used their methods to weave a web, playing tricks on everyone. "Being able to be controlled by a mask means you are just a puppet."
