[Overbearing pursuit + both leads are pure + miraculous medical space + play the pig to eat the tiger + running away while pregnant + satisfying revenge]
Everyone in the capital knew that Xiao Ce, the power-mad and unstable regent who held the court in his palm, kept a disfigured “songbird” in his manor and lavished her with affection.
Outsiders mocked her as a lowborn mistress kept out of sight, while her scumbag father and half-sister hoped she'd be used up and die a miserable death.
They had no idea that the medical genius Gu Qingwan had a spiritual spring space, and her beauty had long since been restored.
By day, she played a timid, delicate climbing vine, letting him hold her by the waist and “coax” her while she pleaded for his protection with reddened eyes.
By night, she was a deadly black lotus, skilled in both medicine and poison. She used his overwhelming power to trample every enemy who had once humiliated and tormented her!
Xiao Ce thought it was just a hunt in which he held all the cards.
That was, until he fell completely in love with her and prepared to marry her as his principal consort the night before...
His songbird flew away.
The usually calculating regent stared at his empty treasury and the divorce letter on the table, and went completely mad.
“Take care, Your Highness. I emptied your private vault, and I'm taking the child in my belly with me.”
That night, the entire city was placed under lockdown.
The cold-blooded, mad regent's eyes were red as he ground out through clenched teeth:
“Search every inch of the land! Bring back my wife and little heir!”
