Qu Tan'er chose this English song.
What she wanted was not for him to understand, but to express her love through a song, letting him know—her love for him would never change.

"Tan'er, isn't it time you tell me what happened in the palace?" Mo Liancheng finally spoke up.

"What changes have happened to you, how are you feeling? Wouldn't I know? It must have started after you met with your father, or maybe… even earlier?"
"Yes." Qu Tan'er had questions weighing on her heart, tangled and painful, cuddling him tightly. After a long while, she murmured, "Father showed me the Supreme Emperor's will. Do you know what that is about?"
"The Supreme Emperor's will?" Mo Liancheng was surprised.
