Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

Si Jun turned to Zhan Xuerou, a trace of pity in his gaze.

Human hearts are the most complex of all.

Yet, he had still managed, through forbearance and meticulous planning, to ascend step by step to the position of King Wei.

In this world, one mustn’t only look at the present; enduring the bitterest of hardships is what elevates one above the rest.

Moreover, Zhan Beicang owed a debt to Zhan Xuerou’s birth father, so even if they were to stand in opposition one day, in consideration of Zhan Xuerou’s face, Zhan Beicang wouldn’t be too harsh.

Hence, even a discarded chess piece, if played with care, can still be played well.

Si Jun consoled Zhan Xuerou, “Rou’er, don’t cry. The hardships I suffer today will eventually turn to joy. All of us have things we’re forced to compromise on. Both you and I must endure and persevere, for our forbearance now is for our future.”
