I'm married to the most dangerous man in the world.
He is the emperor's uncle, the regent, and a powerful minister who holds great power in the government and the public. His eyes always looked at me coldly, as if he were looking at a problem that he had to deal with but was too lazy to deal with.
Until I fell off the rockery.
When I woke up again, I decided not to be his enemy anymore.
I started making soup, grinding ink, and dancing for him. Tell him something in the most clumsy way——
I don't want to be your pawn, nor do I want to be your opponent. I just want to live.
He asked me: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
I said, "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't wait until now."
He was silent for a long time.
Later, he would come to watch me dance late at night, he would block the knife for me in the court, and he would be the first to rush in when I was assassinated.
Later, he held my hand on a snowy night.
He said: "I don't know when it started. It might have been when you first delivered the soup, it might have been when you danced, it might have been when you said 'good job'. I don't know. But I know - I don't want you to leave."
But I dare not tell him——
I am not his princess.
I am a soul from another world.
And this world has no room for a lying dancer
