The original owner was beaten to death by her own husband, a battle-god prince, for abusing the orphaned children in his household. She leaves Su Wan with a mess of a life: a body covered in whip marks and confinement in a desolate courtyard.
Su Wan rolls a silver needle between her fingertips and smiles.
First, she saves a child on the brink of death. Then, at a palace banquet, she exposes the treacherous plot of the Noble Consort and the Crown Prince in front of everyone, stunning the entire capital.
But the prince who once wanted her dead begins looking at her in increasingly strange ways.
He’s the one who brings her medicine, the one who stands up for her. When she hands him divorce papers, he even corners her against the wall, his eyes dark.
“Want to leave? Only over my dead body.”
Su Wan sighs. “My lord, we really aren’t right for each other…”
He lowers his head, his burning breath brushing her ear, his voice hoarse.
“You saved my life and healed my heart.”
“You’ll be responsible for me for the rest of your life.”
The heroine is very brave, it makes my liver hurt 😢
