The most powerful official in the land rebelled, but the Second Prince saw through his meticulously laid plans. In a single night, corpses littered the countryside. Su Mang, the daughter of a disgraced minister, was abused beneath the Second Prince. That night, he swore to destroy her! Yet he never expected to lose himself in her tender embrace. Su Mang couldn't understand why a single night had left her family destroyed, while the man she loved hated her to the bone! The eyes she had once loved so dearly now held nothing but malice and savagery. Her love was so pathetic, so laughable! She had loved until there was no turning back, until she had dug her own grave!
"Su Mang, I will destroy you!"
"The Su Mang who lived only for you was destroyed by you long ago! From now on, there is no place in Mang'er's heart for Brother Zhixing!"
When the gu poison invaded her body, the man who had once stood above everyone else knelt sorrowfully beside her bed, cutting into his own flesh with a sharp blade. The stench of blood filled the dark night. His chilling voice softened as he murmured gently, "I love you."
