"This palace has a way to save your life?"

"Come closer."
Su Yan moved closer.

"Become my woman, and naturally you won't have to pay with your life, nor repay the debt."
While saying this, he used force and pulled her into his embrace.

"You're unwilling?"
"No, I..."
"Since it's not that you're unwilling, it must mean you are willing."
