Zuko’s heart raced, and his ears buzzed, but he tried to contain his excitement. A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. Lina couldn’t bear to be away from him?

With a wholehearted grin and gleaming eyes, he felt satisfaction as if he had the whole world.

“Why are you laughing?” Lina blushed and stood up, ready to run away. But Zuko grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace without saying a word.

The best they could do was send her to this prestigious university to “broaden her horizons,” but they had no clear understanding of the world she would see.

she desired to see was one where women were independent and confident and remained calm and composed in the face of storms. It was a world where they wholeheartedly
