Everyone knows that Xiao Jinghong, the female general who protects the nation, is ruthless and bloodthirsty. But no one knows that she kept Shen Qingci, the capital’s foremost physician, imprisoned in her manor for three years.
Iron chains bound her feet, while red candles wept blood.
Shen Qingci believed that if she stayed obedient and compliant, one day she would win her freedom.
Until that night, when Xiao Jinghong stormed in, drenched in blood, pinned her against the bed, and rasped in a crazed voice, “Qingci, where do you think you’re going? You’re not allowed to go anywhere in this world except to my side!”
She was both her medicine and her poison.
Later, Shen Qingci died in a great fire.
Xiao Jinghong went mad.
She slaughtered every enemy and conquered the four corners of the land, all to find a set of bones.
As rain poured down, the once-arrogant female general knelt before the ruins, coughing up blood as she roared, “Shen Qingci, come back! If you want this kingdom, I’ll give it to you!”
When they met again, Shen Qingci was smiling at the world amid the misty rains of Jiangnan, with a beloved by her side.
Eyes red, Xiao Jinghong humbly clutched the hem of her robe. “My lady, this time, let me be your dog. Don’t send me away… please?”
