Rie Saito is the princess of the Tensai Palace, and she is considered noble and prominent in terms of status; however, a year ago, she was just a student who had just graduated from university, because the Saito family was also a prestigious family before the White Walkers invaded.
, so she is not allowed to focus on anything other than her studies, and the most strictly prohibited thing is falling in love.
Rie Saito herself had never had such thoughts. Although she had an older brother at home, he worked in the family business early. Her parents were busy with various negotiations all year round. Over time, the emptiness in her heart became a habit...
It wasn't until Rie Saito's junior year that she met a boy who made her feel that she had a destination in life for the first time. The two met by chance and started a love affair, and both parties kept it secret.
The other person’s parents are dating.
Half a year later, the boy proposed to have sex with her for the first time, but was politely rejected——
"Why? Isn't the relationship between us enough for me to get everything from you?"
"I love you... This is the first time I say I love you... But, I hope you can wait until we both graduate and get married... before I dedicate everything to you as your wife.
Saito Rie squinted her eyes and smiled, and took the initiative to hold the boy's arm.
"We have known each other for half a year. Some of my classmates have been with their girlfriends for two or three months... In the past six months, you have let me know that I can no longer leave you. I have promised to marry you. How can you still do this?
Can you bear to let me endure loneliness like this? Or, in your heart... I am not as important as the body you consider holy? "
"Really...do you think so...you think I shouldn't let you endure physical loneliness...but why can't you imagine that in the future...as long as we wait until the day we get married, all the patience will be at its best
A wonderful reward... I thought you would understand me... I thought you knew my feelings..." Rie Saito's hand stiffened and let go of the boy's arm, taking a step back.
"Rie...I'm sorry, I was anxious...I'm sorry...please forgive me..."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be your puppet that exists to relieve physical loneliness... You gave up our happiness for your own happiness... What I want is a heart that understands me, not a selfish one.
My heart..." Rie Saito left disheartened. After that, no matter how much the boy admitted his mistake, she did not forgive him.
Until the day of graduation, the two got together again in the coffee shop where they often dated.
"Rie... I don't know if you are still willing to entrust yourself to me... But, I want to tell you: I am different now from before! I am confident that I can become the ideal man in your heart! Marry me, okay
?”
Saito Rie smiled brightly and happily. Looking at the boy's immature but serious face, she nodded and agreed; however, just ten minutes after she drank the coffee in the cup, she began to feel something...
Feeling intensely sleepy, she finally lay down on the table. At the last moment of her delirium, she heard the conversation between a boy and another wretched man——
"Hey, the goods this time are good! It looks like a young lady at first glance. I will give you an extra 20% of the reward this time! Are you sure you are a virgin?"
"Of course! You also know my skills in picking up girls. It took me a year to get the goods this time. After the director is finished, remember to come out as soon as possible before she wakes up.
After playing, when she wakes up and sees me next to her, she won’t know who is playing with her tonight... Maybe I can play again tomorrow, haha..."
The transaction between the two men was obviously not the first time. Rie Saito was looking forward to a miracle in despair and helplessness——
In the end, she was rescued, but the person who rescued her was not a human being, but a White Walker.
At the last moment when Saito Rie lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a huge bat smashing most of the coffee shop, and the two hateful men were torn to pieces by the bat...
When Rie Saito woke up, she was surrounded by ruins, mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood, but she was the only one who was not persecuted by the White Walkers.
After that, Rie Saito began to hate men; during the year of the White Walkers, she used her wisdom to sum up a theory of protecting herself. On the surface, she did not resist talking to anyone, but in fact, she
Maintain an absolutely insurmountable distance from everyone.
After becoming the princess of Tensaifu, Saito Rie did not feel that her status had reached a certain level. She also knew that with her current family situation, she was destined to become a victim of politics in the near future, so she has been looking for a
A target that can be controlled by her.
At this moment, Dongfang Fan appeared.
The disability and inconvenience shown by Dongfang Fan is in line with the goal that Rie Saito pursues. In addition, the Tensai Palace also secretly hopes to buy Dongfang Fan through marriage. This is why the princess of the Tensai Palace serves Mr. Dongfang.
However, what Dongfang Fan showed was a kind of casualness between frivolity and childishness: all his actions seemed very casual, there was no hidden secret in his actions and words, he did things casually, regardless of the consequences, and he seemed to be childish in his handling of things.
The method is always able to achieve the most beneficial results in a frivolous attitude - it's like God is helping him.
Rie Saito admitted that she lost, lost to her innocence and ignorance, but she believed that as long as she remained a virgin, she would still have the capital to deal with anyone - this was the only value that belonged to her.
When Dongfang Fan said the words "Maybe" in the main hall, Saito Rie felt panicked. She was afraid of the feeling of being regarded as "worthless", which would make her feel that she was just Saito.
It is a tool of Taoism and does not have its own consciousness and thoughts.
So, she came to Dongfang Fan again, and she wanted to prove her worth again by signing a contract.
"How is it possible... how is it possible..." Rie Saito was really panicking at this moment. The "value" she had always thought existed had become a laughing stock at this moment. Her panic was not because she was worried about being laughed at, but because she was worried.
The value of one's own existence is thus lost.
Dongfang Fan didn't care about this, but he could feel that the person involved seemed to take this matter very seriously.
"Ms. Rie, the existence of the Book of Contracts is inherently restricted by various laws. The two restrictions I have discovered are only those that have been discovered so far. Other potential restrictions have yet to be discovered... Perhaps, there is that third restriction in you.
Three kinds of restrictions... That's why the Book of Covenant will resist you." What Dongfang Fan said was true, but there was also some comfort in it.
After hearing what Dongfang Fan said, Saito Rie seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and asked with a slightly crazy look: "What are the restrictions? What other restrictions do I have? Tell me quickly! Please tell me quickly, or else
...Otherwise I won’t exist... Just tell me!!”
Dongfang Fan thought for a while, but did not answer immediately: He did have a way to find out the cause, but it was not suitable for use on Saito Rie.
"I'm sorry, I can't directly know the reasons for this, but as long as Miss Rie believes in yourself..."
"That's enough! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it! I don't have anything left..." Saito Rie shouted like this, and finally collapsed and fainted...
When Saito Rie woke up again, she was lying on a luxurious bed, and at the head of the bed, Dongfang Fan was flipping through a book in his hand.
"You're awake." Dongfang Fan put down the book in his hand. In this short period of time, his hands had recovered to the extent that he could move freely, at least flipping through the book was no longer a problem.
"You...what do you want to do...where am I? You probably didn't do anything to me, right..." Rie Saito grabbed the quilt in panic to cover her body, even though the clothes on her body were not reduced.
"Ha! I want to do something, but my body is not up to par... Well, speaking of it, my body has caused me to miss out on so many blessings." Dongfang Fan joked, hoping to lighten the mood.
"Your body...can't be caused by a car accident...How can you still live like this after losing your physical freedom?" Rie Saito asked curiously. In her opinion, Dongfang Fan's optimism made her unable to
understand.
Dongfang Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are right. At the beginning, when I learned that my body might not be able to act like a normal person for the rest of my life... I thought about dying more than once... But
, many people, things, and things that I cared about in my heart made me choose to live an ignoble existence, until now..."
"Moreover, not long ago, I learned that I was actually just a clone created by someone with intentions. That complicated feeling of 'I am not me' has been bothering me for a long time... I don't know why, when I saw your panic expression
, I seem to be able to see the shadow of me at that time..."
Saito Rie nodded. She recognized Dongfang Fan's statement of "I am not me". Feeling the same, she also began to tell her past...
After listening to the story carefully, Dongfang Fan was silent for a moment——
"You are lucky, because the White Walkers who brought disaster to the world seem to have appeared to save your life. To a certain extent, the world has changed because of you. Although this change is a bad change, it still cannot
Destroy your value and meaning! I believe in your heart, and I hope you can believe in your own heart."
Saito Rie looked at Dongfang Fan blankly, with the last hope in her eyes, and asked tentatively: "Even if... even if my body is no longer... not my complete self... wouldn't you mind?"
"Actually, after listening to your story, I admire you very much; you are expressing the love you pursue in your own way, and even though you meet the wrong person, you stick to your true self... When you lead
When you reject the person you love because of love, you are not selfish for yourself, but for your future... I believe that if the person you meet really wants to have a common future with you, he will protect you
Do it according to your original intention, rather than forcing you to do something in return to prove your love - that is just an excuse to show your inability to control yourself."
"When a real man treats his woman, he never thinks about how much he can get from this woman, but always examines himself: Have you given enough to your woman? Do you cherish this woman without reservation?
Woman? Do you have the ability to make this woman live a happy life? "
(This chapter calls on female readers to cherish themselves rationally, and male readers to cherish their women emotionally.)
