Zhu Jiu was forced to tilt her head back to receive his violent kiss, listening to his mocking words about taking her half-sister as a concubine, but in the crisp sound of him tearing off a pearl necklace, she glimpsed slightly trembling fingertips beneath his black official robe. "Fine..." She swallowed her blood-stained plea, letting the embroidery on her wedding dress pierce her fingertips.
