Yue Hongyan intentionally arrived at the meeting place a bit early and chose a window seat, positioning herself so that her most beautiful side faced the entrance.
As soon as Lin Shen walked in, he would immediately see Yue Hongyan at her most flawless state—her makeup, demeanor, lighting, posture, and gaze—all meticulously prepared to deliver a powerful impact of beauty.
Yue Hongyan did this not because she had any feelings for Lin Shen; quite the opposite. It was precisely because she had no feelings for him that such preparation was necessary.
Though fate in romance may be preordained, it is not a simple one-to-one equation. One party may have multiple threads of fate, while the other may have only one.
Even if both parties have just one thread of fate, these threads differ in weight.
The one with more weight is in a more advantageous position, enjoying a lighter burden and even gaining benefits from the relationship.
