Yun Xi accidentally offended Lord Zhao Jiu, the most powerful nobleman in the capital.
They say he kills without blinking and is ruthless in his methods, yet he is the current emperor’s favorite.
Yun Xi merely happened to collide with him when he visited Lin’an City and was riding around in his carriage. But right then, he coldly threatened her, telling her to wait and see.
Yun Xi shot back with a threat of her own: “I’ll be waiting, then!” In the blink of an eye, she had vanished without a trace.
When they met again, it was at the Yun family dinner table. His striking eyes fixed on her, and the dinner turned into a marriage proposal. Her dowry was a famous painting the Yun family had treasured for years.
In the end, his sinister, ruthless gaze gradually softened, holding the image of her alone.
From then on, his world was filled with her.
A very nice short novel
Great, very tense, perfect ending
