The Heartblade of a Paranoid Power Minister

Gu Xiaoheng gripped Ye Lanli by the throat and pinned her against a filthy wall. Blood still dripped from his black armor.

"You smashed my jade pendant?"

Modern forensic pathologist Ye Lanli transmigrated into the body of a merchant's daughter. The moment she opened her eyes, her cousin had sold her to a brothel.

To survive, she smashed Gu Xiaoheng's priceless jade pendant, swallowed a gut-piercing poison to gamble on his sincerity, then wielded silk as a blade to set off a bloodbath in the futures market and used a poison-salt case to bring down a century-old salt syndicate!

But she had no idea that she carried the bloodline of the Golden Moon, could control mineral veins and shake the realm, and that healing his wounds would leave him addicted to her!

"I'd even give you my heart..."

On the cliff, Gu Xiaoheng sucked the poison from her wrist with his teeth. His bite left a deep mark. "But if you dare run, I'll lock you to my waist and take you to court, so every official can see who's really in charge!"

When she used golden-scaled brocade as armor and futures contracts as arrows to pierce the conspiracy surrounding the dragon throne,

he tore off his imperial robe and wrapped it around her, then pointed his sword at the throne and smiled.

"This realm is nothing but the betrothal gift I offer you!"

Captivity as a lover is a lie. Cutting out his heart is the truth.

In this game, where blood is the pact and the realm is the bride price, they will either ascend to bliss together or burn in hell together!
