The Prince Who Married Me by Proxy Wiped Out My Family, Then Begged Me to Cure His Poison

The prince married me with an imperial decree, then personally wiped out my entire family and had me thrown into prison.

Only after he sat on the throne did he lower his head to me, because only my blood could cure the deadly poison that was killing him!

I am Shen Hanzhi, daughter of a military commander. At ten, I fell into an ice cavern, and all four of my limbs ache in the wind. I could never learn martial arts, but I mastered medical skills unrivaled in the world by studying a medical text.

The day I entered the prince’s household as a substitute bride, I thought I’d found a good match.

For fifteen days in prison, I endured torture after torture, but refused to admit that my family had betrayed our country and colluded with the enemy!

On the day I was released, I looked up, and the man on the throne was the very culprit who had destroyed my family.

I had raised the blade of revenge halfway when I saw signs hidden deep in his letters, proof that he had tried desperately to stop it. I saw the orphaned child of his sister, whom he had secretly protected…

“Fine. I’ll save you.”

My blood would be the medicine’s key, and my life would be exchanged for his.

I knew the price: my five senses would gradually fade, and I would die alone.

That winter, blind, deaf, and mute, I leaned into the arms of someone who never spoke.

In the final second before my hearing vanished, I heard him call my name.

In this life, I loved, I hated, and I still saved him. But the life he begged me to spare was paid for with my own.
