The cold wind at the execution ground cut like a knife. Shen Qingci knelt amid a pool of blood, gazing at the bodies of her family. Her voice raw, she demanded, “I helped you ascend the throne. Why did you wipe out my entire family?”
Xiao Chengyan stood on the high platform, his imperial robes fluttering, his expression as hard as iron. “This case implicates too many people. I was powerless to change its outcome.”
Hatred burned in her heart, and she was reborn in tears.
When she was fifteen, her stepmother took her hand with loving kindness. “Qingci, from now on, I’ll take care of everything.” Yet in her eyes lurked a viper, its tongue flicking.
Her elder sister smiled warmly. “Little sister, we sisters should stand together.” Yet with every word, she laid another hidden trap.
Shen Qingci lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. In this life, no one would ever put her on the chessboard again.
To uncover the truth behind her family’s slaughter, she deliberately entered the Eastern Palace. She kept her distance and proceeded cautiously, vowing never to repeat her past mistakes.
But whenever her life hung by a thread, the man who had once betrayed her always shielded her, his voice low and hoarse. “I was a fool before... In this life, I’ll never let you down.”
The old case resurfaced, the true culprit emerged, and the court became a battlefield of blades and shadows. She and he were lovers who could not stop fighting, their love tangled with hatred and vengeance.
When his long-delayed devotion collided with her sea of blood-deep hatred, Shen Qingci looked up and spoke each word slowly. “Your Highness, the game we played back then is over. Now I’m the one holding the pieces.”
