I placed a love curse on Xie Zhu, making him unable to leave my side. For that, he hated me for five years.
He cursed at me every day, yet we clung to each other desperately in bed.
When I was in labor and in mortal danger, he used blood from his heart as medicine to save me, but the curse inside him drained too much of his blood.
Before he died, he wouldn't even spare our child a glance.
"Let the sins of this life end in this life. In the next, could you let her and me be together?"
"I beg you."
His words were humble, filled with unbearable sorrow.
When I agreed, he closed his eyes, content.
The Xie family hated me and cast me out.
I hated myself too. If I had let him be with my elder sister from the start, how could so much have gone wrong?
I let the curse eat away at my heart and followed Xie Zhu in death.
When I opened my eyes again, Xie Zhu had red eyes as he gripped my throat and pinned me against the wall.
"How can you be so cruel? You put a love curse on me just to stop me from marrying Zhixin."
"She's your sister! How could you watch her marry the Ninth Prince and leap into a fate of endless misery?"
I calmly replied, "I won't let Sheng Zhixin marry the Ninth Prince. Don't worry."
This time, I'll make sure you get your wish and everything goes your way.
