When the sword penetrated her chest, she heard her heartbeat.
Very slow.
But she didn't look at herself, she just stared at the man in front of her - his heart was pierced by the sword, and his blood dyed his white robe red.
"You..."
He wanted to say something, but all that came out was blood foam.
She smiled.
I laughed so much that tears came down my face.
"Idiot." She said softly, "You wouldn't let me get close to you in your last life, and I still can't protect you in this life."
He was the regent of the Canglan Dynasty, with overwhelming power and great cultivation.
And she was just an inconspicuous princess beside him. She had been chasing him for twenty years since she was a child. Even until her death, he never even looked at her.
But that day——
He stood in front of the enemy assassin's assassination to protect the young emperor, and she...
She rushed over.
Blocked the sword with his life.
"In the next life..." Her consciousness began to blur, but she held on to his hand tightly, "In the next life, I will definitely... Find you first..."
"This life is too short..."
"I haven't had time to tell you..."
"I like you..."
Then she closed her eyes.
At the last moment when her consciousness disappeared, she seemed to hear him shout something.
But she could no longer hear clearly.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
