But why is the gaze of that cruel, heartless, cold-blooded twelfth prince growing more and more unsettling?
Wasn't he supposed to die? Why is he getting healthier by the day?
Faced with the twelfth prince clinging to her every day like a loyal dog, Nie Yunsheng can only say: “Your Highness, get lost! I want to be a widow and make a fortune!”
