Jin Wan slowly picked up a doll, hugged it to her chest, and walked over to sit down beside Jiang Zheyu.

"I put Gu Sui back in prison," Jin Wan said slowly.

Hearing this, Jiang Zheyu looked even more surprised. "You don’t like him anymore?"

’That can’t be right. Jin Wan is so driven by love; how could she possibly let Gu Sui go so quickly?’

Then Jiang Zheyu realized the Little Princess of the Empire had said she put him *back in prison*, not that she let him go.

"I thought you meant you let him go free," Jiang Zheyu added under her breath.

"Didn’t you say I should keep him imprisoned by my side and never let him leave?" Jin Wan glanced at Jiang Zheyu. "Besides, if I let him go, it would be a long time before I saw him again, and I might even never see him again."

So, naturally, she couldn’t let him leave.

After spending these past few days together, Jin Wan’s idealized image of Gu Sui shattered.

She wanted him to stay here with her. If he liked her, he should have been willing to stay with her in the Imperial Palace. If two people were together, they should be happy no matter where they were.

But Gu Sui wasn’t willing, so she wouldn’t let him leave, staying with him in the palace the whole time.

Gu Sui also kept saying he had fallen for Jiang Zheyu.

So Jin Wan kept him confined, telling him to stop liking Jiang Zheyu, or she would never let him out.

Eventually, Gu Sui did stop saying he liked Jiang Zheyu.

But his attitude toward her grew colder and colder.

Jin Wan would slit her wrists and throw tantrums in front of him, but Gu Sui showed no expression at all, just watching coldly as she cried, screamed, and lost control.

In the end, it was the ever-unassuming Commander Wu at her side who treated her wounds.

The sharp contrast between the two became clear.

Jin Wan had wanted to find Jiang Zheyu to vent her feelings, but then she saw Jiang Zheyu being lovey-dovey with all her different men.

And then, Jin Wan’s way of thinking quietly began to change.

"I think you were right. With so many potential Beast Husbands out there, why should I only like Gu Sui?" Jin Wan looked at Jiang Zheyu. "Besides, he’s lost his soul now. He’s not the Gu Sui from before. The old Gu Sui is already dead."

Gu Sui was cold and heartless toward her, so she put him back in prison to be locked up. Only when he’s thought things through will she consider bringing him out again.

Hearing this, Jiang Zheyu looked at the Little Princess of the Empire with relief. "I’m glad you’ve figured it out."

"It’s just... I have a few questions for you." Jin Wan’s expression became hesitant. "It’s about my former Beast Husbands. I was immature back then. I wrongly trusted Gu Sui and deliberately withheld Spiritual Comfort from them, and even provoked them on purpose."

That also included intentionally letting her Beastified Beast Husbands harm her.

That way, those Beast Husbands of hers would be arrested and locked up in prison.

"So, you want to ask...?" Jiang Zheyu raised an eyebrow slightly. "How to turn over a new leaf?"

"How do you usually sweet-talk men?" Jin Wan frowned, asking bluntly.

Jiang Zheyu was speechless.

Jin Wan set the doll aside and grabbed Jiang Zheyu’s arms with both hands. "You’re so silver-tongued, you must be great at sweet-talking men."

Jiang Zheyu didn’t know what to say.

"But you’re trying to turn over a new leaf now, right?" Jiang Zheyu said quietly. "Just go bring your Beast Husbands back, and then be good to them. Genuinely be good to them. If they don’t like you, you can just release them from the bond and let them leave. It’s that simple."

"They probably all hate me." Jin Wan seemed to deflate. "Actually, I’m not asking how to win back my old men, but how to win over new ones."

Jiang Zheyu: ?

Seeing Jiang Zheyu’s surprised expression, Jin Wan’s lips twitched. "What are you looking at? Isn’t this perfectly normal? There’s definitely a huge rift between my old men and me. It’s better to just find new ones, like you. Sitting in the garden, being doted on by your men."

Jiang Zheyu thought for a moment, then continued, "That’s pretty simple too. You’re the Little Princess of the Empire. Just go to the matching application, and if you see someone you like, just hit ’accept.’ The men will come to you on their own. You won’t have to sweet-talk them; they’ll be sweet-talking you."

Hearing Jiang Zheyu’s reminder, the Little Princess of the Empire finally remembered the existence of the matching center. The truth was, the Little Princess had never been short of men, and they were all the Commander type.

But she didn’t really want a Commander now. Mainly because the men in the Imperial Army were all familiar with her and knew what she had done in the past.

So, it would be better to go to the matching center to find new men.

"Good idea." Jin Wan’s eyes lit up.

A moment later, she thought of something else and looked at Jiang Zheyu, seeming a bit embarrassed to speak.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zheyu said directly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t mumble."

"It’s... it’s just that when I’m performing deep Spiritual Comfort with my Beast Husband, sometimes my Beastification Value exceeds my comfort limit, and it becomes really uncomfortable. But how can I stop then? What should I do? Have you never encountered this situation when performing deep Spiritual Comfort with your Beast Husbands?" Jin Wan looked at her slowly. "It’s spiritually agonizing, but if I pull back, both of us might be left unsatisfied."

Jiang Zheyu fell silent for a moment. She had never had such worries before. She was probably already S-Class in spiritual power back then, and now she was Level 5s, so she had even less reason to worry about it.

She tentatively suggested, "You could just skip the Spiritual Comfort, you know? And just... do that."

They could be together physically without the spiritual connection.

"It’s... it’s just that it’s more pleasurable when you do both together," Jin Wan stammered.

Jiang Zheyu was speechless.

"Don’t force yourself," was all Jiang Zheyu said.

"Alright, then." Jin Wan sighed softly. "You only have four Beast Husbands? Isn’t that a little low? You’re an A level or higher female, you should have at least ten to start. I can keep an eye out for you at the matching center, if you want?"

"No, thank you." Jiang Zheyu laughed helplessly.

The two of them chatted for a while longer.

Jiang Zheyu could see that Jin Wan had truly let go and was no longer brainwashed by that Star Thief, Gu Sui, which put her at ease.

"Oh, right, let me tell you something. You know Yan Luo, right? Didn’t you get her Beast Husband thrown in prison? Well, now she’s going to my brother and my father every single day, demanding they release him." Jin Wan leaned closer to Jiang Zheyu. "Also, I heard her Beast Husband is being brutally tortured in prison. The other captured Star Thieves are being tortured too. It seems they’re either being electrocuted or nearly drowned, and their bodies are covered in deep, bloody gashes. But at those exact moments, all the surveillance cameras just happen to be broken, and the guards can’t catch anyone, so they have to just let it go."

Jiang Zheyu was a little surprised to hear this.
