[Cruel, bloodthirsty regent × ruthless general’s wife]
People say Sheng Qingshu is a foolish beauty with nothing but looks,
and that after marrying into the General’s Estate with a lavish bridal dowry, she’s bound to be stripped to the bone and devoured.
Sheng Qingshu didn’t believe them, not until she died a miserable death and realized that the man she thought she could trust was nothing but a hypocrite in disguise.
Living her life over again, she wakes in the arms of the dreaded regent and decides to cling to his power.
“Protection? Is the General’s wife planning to offer herself in exchange?” he asks, his tone dripping with contempt.
Sheng Qingshu thinks they’re both willing, each using the other. But after her reputation grows and she cuts all ties with the General’s Estate,
he backs her into a corner, eyes red. “Isn’t it rather improper to use me and then throw me away, Madam?”
Within these deep walls of the rich and powerful, you may have a bone-carving knife, but who’s to say I don’t have a beauty’s slender waist?
