The Lone Phoenix’s Secret Art

She is Su Jinran, born with the destiny of a phoenix, yet a palace conspiracy turns her into a sacrificial pawn and marries her off to the most cold-blooded, heartless man alive.

He is Fu Hanzhou. His family was wiped out overnight, and he has endured humiliation and plotted every step of the way for the sake of revenge.

On their wedding day, she kneels before a hall full of guests, forced to trade her life for another’s.

He says, “You’re nothing but a scapegoat. Don’t expect even a shred of mercy from me.”

She endures it for three years, loving him with all her heart, while he treats her with cold indifference and personally pushes her into the abyss.

When she finally despairs and leaves with their child in her womb, he goes mad searching the world for her.

When they meet again, she wears red and smiles with breathtaking elegance. “Fu Hanzhou, have you ever regretted it?”

Kneeling before her with red-rimmed eyes, he replies hoarsely, “I regret it, Jinran... Could you look at me just once more?”

A phoenix with broken wings can never find its mate.

But he is willing to spend the rest of his life giving her peace and protection.
