Everyone in the capital knows that Xiao Xun, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is a bloodthirsty mad dog. Anyone who comes into contact with him will have to shed their skin even if they die.
I was just an ink maker hiding a blood feud that destroyed my family, but he grabbed me by the throat and forced me into the prison of power.
He thought he was in control of a delicate toy, but little did he know that my ink-grinding hands had already grasped the sharp blade in front of me.
He was greedy for my skills and my character, so he protected me under his wings, thinking he could tame me into a bird in his palm.
But he forgot that my surname is Lin, and I come from an ink-making family that was personally destroyed by the royal family he was loyal to.
This time, I use ink as a blade and cinnabar to point out sins and disrupt this prosperous chess game.
It was only when he killed all my enemies for me and treated me affectionately that I realized——
What he held in his heart was never a pure white dove, but a poisonous black-hearted lotus watered with his own blood.
