Her heart pounded fiercely as she stole a quick glance at him, her voice laced with agitation as she said, "I know you're already married, and I won't put you in a difficult position. Whether as a concubine or a maid, I just want to stay by your side, I don't care about those worldly titles."
Jiang Yichun was completely petrified; the day before, when Ling had confessed her feelings for him, he had deliberately ignored her. If it were any other woman, he might have told her to get lost long ago, but she had taken an arrow for him.

In the Western Regions, because he was afflicted by the Evil Technique of the Red Lotus, he had already hurt Ruozhu once. Therefore, no matter what, he could not hurt her again, even if that meant being labeled ungrateful and vindictive.
