Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

At this point, Xie Chaochao's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sadness, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "But even so, I have no regrets. In life, we must always fight for what we believe in and love, even if the ending is not perfect. Guard Li, you and I are both chess pieces in this huge chess game, but please remember that chess pieces can also turn around. The key lies in whether you are willing to believe in yourself and take that step bravely."

Li Yi was overwhelmed by what he heard. He had never thought that this seemingly weak and spineless queen actually had such an indomitable will and profound thoughts. He bowed deeply, with a tremor in his voice: "Your Majesty's words, Li Yi will remember them in my heart. No matter what the future holds, Li Yi is willing to serve you at all costs."

Xie Chaochao nodded gently, his eyes gleaming with approval: "It is my great fortune to have such a loyal and brave man. Go, Guard Li, there may be more storms waiting for us in the future, but as long as there is light in our hearts, hope will never go out."

After that, she waved her hand gently, signaling Li Yi to leave. Li Yi turned and left, his steps were more firm and powerful than when he came, his heart was filled with unprecedented courage and faith. And Xie Chaochao, still standing there, looking into the distance, her figure gradually lengthened in the afterglow of the sunset, like a female warrior about to embark on a new journey, fearless and strong.

Xie Chaochao stood in the quaint courtyard, the sun shining through the intricately carved window lattices, casting a faint golden glow on her. Her eyes were clear and firm, as if they contained some unknown determination. The breeze blew past, gently blowing her clothes, adding a bit of freedom and uninhibitedness.

"Brother Guard," Xie Chaochao's voice was gentle but carried a force that could not be ignored. She slowly turned around and looked at the guard standing beside her as straight as a pine or cypress. Her eyes flashed with unprecedented seriousness. "I have to go out for something important recently. This trip is related to my personal growth and the future of my family. I hope you can understand."

The guard was slightly shocked when he heard this. He knew that this seemingly weak lady was actually tough and had great ideas. Although he usually monitored her, it was mostly out of a sense of protection. At this moment, facing Xie Chaochao's eyes full of requests, he was speechless for a moment and could only nod silently, as a promise.

"Thank you, big brother guard." Xie Chaochao smiled gently, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and gentle, instantly dispelling the solemnity around her. She continued, "I will be careful about my own behavior and pay attention to safety. When I return, I will share with big brother what I have seen and heard along the way, and perhaps I can bring new atmosphere to the mansion."

The guard looked at Xie Chaochao's back as she walked away, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this trip was not just a simple journey for Xie Chaochao, but also an adventure of self-exploration and growth. And behind her seemingly relaxed words, there were so many unknown challenges and hardships, which were probably only known to her.

As Xie Chaochao gradually disappeared from sight, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility. But in this tranquility, there seemed to be a bit more expectation and uneasiness. The guard stood silently in place, praying in his heart that this brave lady could return safely, bring her own glory and stories, light up this ancient courtyard again, and make everyone's life more wonderful because of her.

All of this is just a small prelude to Xie Chaochao's wonderful life. A journey full of unknowns and challenges is quietly beginning, waiting for her to explore and conquer...

Xie Chaochao walked alone into the ancient and mysterious forest, stepping on the cool dew in the early morning. The sunlight shone through the dense treetops, dappling on her light steps, as if every step was stepping on the fragments of time, echoing the whispers of the past and the future. She walked and stopped, sometimes leaning over to touch the ancient trees of unknown age, her fingertips sliding over the rough bark, feeling the vicissitudes of time and the rhythm of nature; sometimes looking up at the blue sky, letting the tiny spots of light jump on her eyelids, she couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in her heart - the prosperity of the world is not as good as the quiet and pure scenery before her.

Just as she was immersed in this rare tranquility and beauty, a breeze blew by, bringing the unique freshness and coolness of the deep forest, and seemed to quietly remind her of something. Xie Chaochao slowly walked out of the edge of the forest, and the view in front of her suddenly opened up. On an open grassland, the golden sunlight poured down without reservation, coating the whole world with a layer of warm golden light.

However, this tranquility did not last long. When she was about to move on and enjoy this rare free time, her eyes inadvertently swept across the other end of the grass and unexpectedly found a figure in a dragon robe - Emperor Chu Heng, standing there quietly, with deep eyes, as if waiting for something. His appearance was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility around him and making Xie Chaochao's heart tighten suddenly.

Xie Chaochao stopped involuntarily, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that every encounter with this high and mighty emperor was no accident. Just as she was hesitating whether to go forward and pay her respects, or to leave quietly to avoid being involved in the complexity and turmoil of the palace, Chu Heng had already started walking towards her slowly.

"Stop." Chu Heng's voice was deep and powerful, like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly attracting all attention. Xie Chaochao's heart trembled, knowing that it was impossible to escape, so she could only bite the bullet and force a smile, preparing to face this sudden change. Chu Heng's pace did not slow down because of her pause, but became more determined, pushing her back step by step to a point where she had no way to retreat. There was a subtle tension and expectation in the air, as if a storm was about to come, and Xie Chaochao was standing at the center of the storm.

Deep in the magnificent palace, the candlelight flickered, illuminating every corner of the palace, and also illuminating the subtle and tense atmosphere between the two. Xie Chaochao, a woman dressed in simple palace clothes, with an unruly and indifferent look between her eyebrows, stood quietly, her eyes as cold as cold stars, staring directly at the majestic emperor in front of her, Chu Heng, who was dressed in a dragon robe. There was no awe in her eyes, only a faint alienation and confusion, as if all the prosperity in this world had nothing to do with her, and she was just a lonely shadow behind this prosperity.

Chu Heng, the emperor who ruled the world, seemed very different at this moment. He was no longer the monarch who planned and made decisions in the court, but a man with tenderness and desire in his eyes. He slowly approached Xie Chaochao, and every step seemed to step on his heartstrings, adding a bit of depression and expectation to the silent hall.
