Her courage to offer herself to Li Yan was born from the pressure she felt. This way, she could solidify her confidence in following him, and even if societal and familial forces were against them, she would feel a bit better at heart.
But now, suddenly she heard that she wasn't the only secret girlfriend by Li Yan's side! She even had a companion!
Toward this girl whom she had never met, who should be considered a rival in love, yet seemed more like an ally in shared misfortune, she already felt a sense of reassurance.
The pressure was no longer hers alone to bear, even facing death, she would have someone to accompany her!
It's like a student cheating on an exam; if only one person cheats, they bear massive psychological pressure, worrying about the teacher discovering it, classmates reporting it, and others laughing at them. But once they find out there are others cheating too, the pressure becomes much lighter.
