“Does a mute slave think she deserves to bear this general’s children?”
She was once a noblewoman from Jiangnan, but became the lowest-ranking mute slave in a general’s household.
She endured humiliation and bore him a child, only to discover the truth: she had merely been a surrogate.
Her own child despised her, his beloved mocked her, and even the last scrap of warmth she received was part of a scheme.
Xie Wu endured it all and escaped that cage. She thought she would finally be free, but another conspiracy soon ensnared her!
Her grandmother was poisoned with a deadly toxin, and Xie Wu was badly injured and lost her memory in a fire...
When she awoke, Xuan Qianji, the powerful Prince of Qin who held sway over the court, treated her like a precious treasure.
He brushed her temple, his gaze tender yet feverish. “Perhaps it’s for the best that you’ve forgotten. I’ll help you get your revenge.”
Later, the truth came to light.
Qin Mingyao’s hair turned white overnight. Kneeling in a pool of blood, he cried out, “Awu, don’t go...”
Leaning against Xuan Qianji, Xie Wu looked at Qin Mingyao with icy indifference.
“You think you deserve me?”
