I was the last Gu master in Miaojiang. To ease Grandpa Xiao's Gu poison, I married Xiao Zeyan, the Buddhist-hearted heir of the capital's elite circle.
After we married, Xiao Zeyan spent every day making love with his childhood sweetheart, Xu Wanwan, until she developed a severe blood disorder.
When Xiao Zeyan learned that the child I gave birth to had pure blood that could cure her if she was nourished with it, he was willing to touch me for the first time. A year after the child was born, he pushed me aside and locked the baby in the basement.
He stuck countless needles into the baby's veins, drawing a steady stream of blood from her body.
I knelt on the floor, weeping and begging: "Qianqian is only one year old. She'll die if this keeps going!"
"Please, don't do this to her. She's innocent. If you need to punish someone, punish me instead!"
But Xiao Zeyan kicked me aside and held Xu Wanwan close, looking down at me as he humiliated me.
"If it weren't for you, Wanwan and I would have been together long ago! Her life is worth more than every strand of your hair!"
Then, just because Xu Wanwan said a word, he set his sights on the child I was about to give birth to.
I fought back in shock with all my strength. Just as they were about to cut the child out of me, Madam Xiao arrived and saved me.
"I've repaid the debt of gratitude with three years of my life. Grandpa Xiao's time has come. I really have to leave..."
But later, after Xiao Zeyan contracted Gu poison, he searched all over the capital and couldn't find a trace of me.
