I'm The Lowest-Ranking Daughter Of A Martial Arts Villain (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 119
“This is quite the predicament. My lack of diligent study is showing right here—it’s rather awkward.”
Ja Maeng said with feigned exasperation.
“As far as I recall, Qin Shi Huang unified the six states only after purging Lü Buwei. Could I possibly be mistaken?”
“Weight always takes precedence over sequence,” Jeok Gun Ak replied.
Upon hearing this, Ja Maeng fell silent for a moment.
‘Weight (qing zhong) takes precedence over sequence (xian hou).’
The relationship between Qin Shi Huang and Lü Buwei was not simple.
It was Lü Buwei who had elevated a thirteen-year-old boy—born as a hostage’s son and himself held hostage—to the throne of Qin.
Yet, under Lü Buwei’s regency, the young emperor was stripped of all real power for ten years, until he came of age, purged Lü Buwei, and ultimately unified the six states.
What Jeok Gun Ak referred to now by “weight” and “sequence” was precisely this: adjusting order based on importance was not difficult at all.
“So, unifying the Xiaoming Palace is the weighty matter, and purging the Dharma Protectors later is the lighter one?”
Jeok Gun Ak responded with a meaningful smile.
“My lord, surely you’ve heard the rumors about me. If all you wished was my assistance, you’d have asked me to become Zhang Zifang—the advisor to Emperor Gaozu of Han—instead of Lü Buwei.”
In other words, he had no intention of being easily purged.
‘A poisoned chalice, indeed.’

Everyone is trying to take advantage of Narin, but no one realizes they are walking into the tiger’s den.
Manipulation, brainwashing, carrot and stick methods.. the usual social tendencies. It’s so tiring..
I suspect that at the end she will be the one to rule. Even if she doesn’t want to. Or her child will be the chosen one. Not that her father is going to leave his post any time soon.

"Is there any problem with an older sister cherishing her younger sister?"
I guess that’s how Na Rin’s plan worked. If the pendant remains with Young Hee, everyone will “cherish” her just in case she changes her mind on whom to bet. However Hee Mi won’t protect her from the Han family.. so what’s the point?
"Wol Yeong disappeared."
And then? What happened? How did he get cursed after that? How did she give birth and survive?
She was a carefully crafted creation—designed and raised collectively by multipl
It’s tough to think about oneself this way. Feeling like she is an object.

I hoped to see the events they have prepared as well as Na Rin’s performance. Maybe in the next chapters? I feel like guests were left completely alone.
I expected that Young Hee was hiding the beating or other kind of scars. However from the close family member – that’s tough.
