On the forty-first day locked in the secret chamber, I spat a mouthful of blood in Gu Wenxing's face and sneered.
The late emperor had died. The Fourth Prince wanted to seize the military command and the imperial jade seal, and take control of the government.
I went from crown prince to prisoner, locked up with criminals.
In despair, I thought maybe this was retribution. I was destined to die.
In the narrow space where all hope seemed lost, a woman saved my life. She was my fourth brother's consort.
She wasn't mine to begin with, but it didn't matter. Whatever I wanted, I would take.
She bit down hard on my neck and screamed herself hoarse: "Let me go back!"
I didn't care. I wiped the blood from my neck across my lips, then kissed her fiercely. "You'll always be mine."
Later, when I ascended the throne, the only one I married was her memorial tablet. I never even found her remains.
