Li Cheng's plan was actually very simple.
He just needed Lin Qingzhi to find a way to lure Hua Manman to him. Then, he would force himself on Hua Manman, thereby ruining her chastity.
What was the fate of a woman who had lost her chastity? Without anyone needing to spell it out, Hua Manman herself would surely understand.
She would definitely be devastated.
And in her moment of greatest despair and helplessness, Li Cheng would offer her a glimmer of hope—for instance, by making a promise that once he ascended the throne, he would make her an Imperial Concubine.
Women, after all, tended to develop some sort of reliance on a man with whom they had been intimate.
Besides, she would have no other, better options.
Her only way out would be to submit at his feet, be controlled by him, and become his pawn planted by Prince Zhao's side.
Now, Li Cheng had everything prepared.
The stage was set; all that was missing was the final piece.
