The first time Wen Chiying met Qi Du was in his coffin.
That night, she sneaked into the mourning hall on her father's orders. As soon as she put her hand into the dead man's clothes, her wrist was firmly clasped by a cold hand.
The regent is not dead.
He was waiting for a fish that had been hidden for three years.
But by some strange combination of circumstances, she fell into his net first.
In order to save her father, she checked old military pay accounts for him.
In order to find out the person behind the scenes, he left the girl who should have been silenced.
At first Qi Du said: "I will keep you here only because you are useful."
Wen Chiying takes it for granted.
But later on, he supported her, blocked the knife for her, and was even willing to change the situation he had laid for three years for her.
Only then did she realize that some men were talking about benefits, but what they hid in their eyes was no longer true.
And Qi Du finally understood.
He is best at controlling people's hearts in his life.
But Wen Chiying was the only person he lost his temper with.
