Everyone knows that the eldest princess Zhao Shining is a madman.
She beat the regent like a dog, humiliated him like a plaything, and smiled as she watched him kneeling in a pool of blood.
What no one knows is——
She was also a dog raised by the royal family.
Since she was sent to the Shangshu Mansion at the age of sixteen, she has become the flesh and bones used by her father to win over powerful officials.
So she hates.
Hate everyone. Including Bai Siheng.
Until he died once and came back again.
"I'm here to make a deal with you."
She cut her finger and pressed the blood to his lips.
Bai Siheng licked off the blood and looked up at her.
"Your Majesty, tonight is really interesting."
——He started to care about her.
She gave him the medicine and he swallowed the powder into his mouth to test the poison.
She blocked the whip for him, and he bit her shoulder to mark it.
She said "Don't die" and he said "Your Highness's blood is very sweet".
It's obviously a deal that everyone has their own agenda.
Obviously no one believes anyone.
But——
"Zhao Shining, what are you afraid of?"
"... Afraid of you."
I'm afraid that you will put me in a cage like you did in the last life, and then hand me the poisonous wine with your own hands.
Bai Siheng paused.
He looked down at her trembling fingertips, and for the first time he felt a dull pain somewhere in his chest.
