Several hours later, the daylight began to fade.
In a residence about five li west of Hundred Herbs Hall.
By the faint light, Chen Yi carefully studied his reflection in a copper mirror.
His formerly refined and scholarly appearance had transformed into one of striking handsomeness.
—Fair skin, sharp brows, star-like eyes, and a high-bridged nose.
Aside from his bright, clear eyes, his facial structure, mouth, and nose had all been subtly altered.
Whether at a glance or under close scrutiny, no one would recognize him as the live-in son-in-law of the Xiao Family.
Seeing no flaws, Chen Yi nodded. "Not bad."
Hearing this, Wang Ji beamed and quickly bowed.
"As long as you're satisfied, my lord."
"It's just that it's a bit too handsome. It'll attract unwanted attention."
"You jest, my lord. You drew attention before, too."
Chen Yi glanced at him, ignoring the flattery. He looked toward the figure outside the door and ordered,
"From now on, have him follow you."
