Main characters: Song Zhaowan and Chu Yin
[Sweet and obedient beauty in the prince's bedchamber x scheming crown prince]
Everyone in the palace knows that Song Zhaowan, the steward of the Eastern Palace, is Chu Yin's bedchamber attendant.
The crown prince has no consorts, making Song Zhaowan the most favored woman by his side.
Then one day, Chu Yin suddenly discovers that he can hear other people's thoughts.
And he hears his darling say she's going to kill someone in a moment...
-
Song Zhaowan is a spy, skilled at killing and poisoning, with no task beyond her ability.
Her final assignment is, unbelievably, to take her own life.
"No one but me can take my life, and no one else is worthy of it!"
A great fire makes Chu Yin's wedding blaze even brighter.
He risks his life to rush into the flames, but carries out only a charred corpse beyond recognition.
Chu Yin's eyes bleed tears as he hears the empress's thoughts.
[How dare she set fire to the palace and flee while carrying my son's child!]
Chu Yin's pupils tremble. Song Zhaowan is alive, and she faked her death while carrying his child?!
-
Three years later, Song Zhaowan is cooing over a little girl as delicate as a doll.
"Look, baby. This person in the portrait is your father."
The little girl looks just like Chu Yin around the eyes and asks, tilting her head, "Where's Daddy?"
Song Zhaowan smiles sweetly. "He's dead."
With a dark expression, Chu Yin scoops up his daughter, his voice low and icy.
"Song Zhaowan, I hear you've been telling everyone I'm dead?"
-
In one sentence: She runs, he pursues, and neither of them can escape.
