Bibi Dong and Master had a history too.
When she was young, she believed there was nothing that could not be said, no problem communication could not solve, and nothing that could separate her from Xiao Gang.
Until that accident came—the accident that made teachers and students unable to remain teachers and students, mothers and daughters unable to remain mothers and daughters, and lovers unable to remain lovers.
After that, she often dreamed of the past. In her dreams, she asked Xiao Gang whether he would stay by her side forever and love her forever. He said he would, decisively and without hesitation.
When she woke up, there was only emptiness.
She had thought about many things.
Her first realization was that there was no such thing as forever.
The person who had once promised to stay by her side forever left under her coercion. The person who had once promised to love her forever could turn around and love someone else.
Her second realization was not to believe what men said.
When she changed her attitude for his safety and drove him out of Spirit City, did he truly not feel that something was wrong? Did he truly not find it strange at all? He only felt that he had been betrayed, only felt that he had been humiliated.
How pointless.
Her third realization was that she had to become her own introduction.
Someone's student, someone's lover—none of that was useful. Even mountains could collapse when relied upon. The only thing she could do was live as herself and rely on herself.
She needed great power, greater authority, and more wealth to support her ambitions. She wanted to reach a point where no one could force her to do anything. That was true freedom.
