Chapter Ninety-Eight: Persuasion

Wang Mian: ... Uh, actually, she wasn’t as insecure or self-denying as Wang Heng had imagined. Of course, she understood the saying that every measure has its strengths and weaknesses. Having encountered true masters and geniuses, Wang Mian simply recognized her own shortcomings and reminded herself not to harbor unfounded superiority. Still, her friends’ words comforted her.
