After the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an broke her arms and legs and forced her to swallow poison, Shen Yunqing died a terrible death. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the most pampered Grand Princess Zhaoning in the land.
At the Qionglin Banquet, her scumbag ex-husband saw the princess seated in the place of honor, whose face bore a striking resemblance to his dead wife. Thinking heaven had handed him an easy path to power, he deliberately recited a poem to show off his devotion.
Chu Mingxi toyed with her wine cup, then splashed a cup of scalding wine across his face...
"Heir, you're so devoted. Why don't you go die for her?"
For the debts of blood from her past life, she would make the entire Marquis of Jing'an's household pay with their future!
She never expected that all her schemes to walk her ex-husband like a dog would fall under the watchful eye of Chief Councilor Xie Yanci.
That living King of Hell, who had always regarded the Princess's residence as his enemy, not only failed to expose her but cornered her behind a rockery...
His cool jade thumb ring brushed against the back of her neck as he gritted his teeth and whispered:
"Your Highness would rather watch that good-for-nothing put on an act than spare me a glance?"
After hearing that the princess had been alone with her ex-husband in the imperial garden, the Chief Councilor, who held the power of life and death, lost control and galloped to the Princess's residence.
In the pouring rain, he didn't dare knock. He stood beneath the eaves and let the rain soak him all night.
When Chu Mingxi opened the door the next morning, he was drenched, his eyes bloodshot from a sleepless night, and his voice trembled as he asked:
"Has Your Highness grown tired of using this blade of yours?"
