She is not tempted by her master, does not let her master indulge, and wholeheartedly paves the way for her young lady to have a trial marriage. The master regarded her as a substitute, but she endured it; the Lord trampled her self-esteem in the mud, but she endured it; the master wanted her life to exchange for Bai Yueguang's life, but she could endure it. Because, don’t be tempted. It was hard to get through it.
