When he smiled and tied the golden bell for me, I didn't know that it was the lock of the cage, let alone that the other end of the lock held his ten years of madness.
That night when I wore a golden bell on my foot, I realized that my fiancé was the enemy of my family.
My father dyed the marriage certificate red with blood and sent me to take refuge in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. Prince Xiao Jingheng tied a golden bell on my ankle and warned me gently: "Wear it, and I will know where you go."
The whole capital praised him for his kindness, but they didn't know that my rants in my sleep every night became the death penalty list annotated by his ink pen.
Until I saw the wall full of portraits in the secret room——
The me who carried the lantern at the age of twelve, the me who had haircut at the age of fifteen, and even the me who coughed up blood last night are all vivid.
Before the ink on the latest painting was dry, he was tracing the golden bells on my ankles one stroke at a time, whispering with a smile: "It's only mine if you lock it up."
Later, I broke the engagement and fled, while he set up hundreds of crossbows on the tower.
The moment arrows fell like rain, he trembled and covered my ears: "Don't be afraid, these are meant to kill them."
In the pool of blood, he held up the fragment of the golden bell, his eyes as scarlet as an animal:
"Zhao Ning, if you escape once, I will slaughter an entire city."
**It turns out that the most terrifying thing is not revenge.
It was a madman who burned the entire dynasty into a wedding dress,
Kneel down and ask me if I am enough to marry you. **
