The wicked Fu Rumeng claims the position of head of the foremost clan, the Fu family, through the brutal murder of her father and kin. Though she’s clearly a woman who craves beauty and sensual pleasures…
When it comes to Su Xiang, the young son of the Grand Princess, she says, “He’s just a country boy. Being used by me is his good fortune.”
But she never expected there could be anyone as innocent and adorable as Su Xiang. She likes his guileless, sheltered nature, yet frets over his timid, cowardly ways. Fu Rumeng rubs her forehead. “Well, I chose him as my husband. I’ll just have to deal with it, even if I have to cry. Yes, deal with it.”
But Su Xiang dies. Why does she go gray overnight? It’s truly… baffling.
