I came to kill him, not to love him.
The northern wolf girl He Lanzhao lurked for three years, only to slit the throat of the regent Xiao Zhi with a knife.
Xiao Zhi, known as Jade-faced Yama, has power over the government and the public, and her hands are stained with the blood of her entire family.
On their wedding night, she poisoned the soup. He put down the bowl without even touching his eyebrows: "A girl from the north needs to practice her poisoning skills."
He clearly saw through everything, but he didn't expose or expel her. Instead, he kept her by his side. She stole pictures, sent messages, and contacted the old department, but he pretended not to see her. He Lanzhao told himself: He is waiting for you to reveal your flaws.
But when the assassin's arrow shot at him that day, her knife blocked it for him. Blood flowed all over the ground, and he picked her up from the pool of blood. His first words were: "He Lanzhao, if you dare to die, I will dig up all the graves of your family."
She closed her eyes and smiled: "You know, it's all fake anyway."
Later she found out that he had saved her whole family with his own hands. That bowl of poisonous soup was the only bowl of porridge he had drank for fifteen years that she had tasted.
He handed both the kingdom and the knife to her.
"I will accept whatever you choose. But you have to live to choose."
