[Conquest System] [The Pursuit After the Breakup] [Mutual Testing] [Historical Romance with a Twist] [Sweet and Angsty]
“As long as I get one hundred thousand taels of gold and sever my lifeline for good, I can go back to modern times and live as a couch potato.”
For the fortune and her life, Ning Ruyuan pretends to be a devoted substitute and clings desperately to Rong Ji, the powerful eunuch who controls the imperial seal.
At last, when the progress bar is full, she promptly sets a fire, fakes her death, and makes her escape.
But the System has a bug! The fortune she stole has turned into a deadly “two-way heart knot.”
If he hurts, she hurts. If he dies, she dies with him!
Forced to disguise herself and sneak back to serve as a bodyguard for the male lead, who has turned dark, Ning Ruyuan watches Rong Ji deliberately go after bandits without wearing armor and screams inwardly.
“Your Excellency! I'm begging you, stop trying to get yourself killed!”
Rong Ji pulls the half-inch blade from his chest and smiles with a deranged, terrifying intensity. “Does it hurt to see me like this? Then show your true face and protect me yourself.”
