Ji Li: "I didn't get it before, but now, maybe it's because I've gotten prettier that I finally understand what you mean. When it comes down to it, I'm still just a shallow person."
"I've never thought you were shallow," Tan You retorted. "There's nothing wrong with wanting to be prettier. If it makes you more confident, then you should go for it. No one can fault you for that."
"As long as you know how to take care of yourself, that's all that matters."
"Of course. I absolutely have to love myself. Especially when there's no one else to love me, I need to love myself even more, live well, work hard, and take good care of myself."
Ji Li's eyes curved into a smile. "You know, when I saw Wang Jue in her wedding gown, I was a bit envious. Not that she was getting married, but that she got to wear one."
