I have been plotting for ten years just to kill her.
But she used gentleness as a blade to cut through my carefully constructed hatred inch by inch.
When Su Hanren was twelve years old, the entire Su family was buried in a sea of fire.
The half jade pendant left by the murderer points to Lin Zhenyue, the leader of the Jiangnan martial arts alliance.
Ten years later, she disguised herself as a maid and sneaked into the Lin Mansion as a maid.
The sword has been sharpened, the poison has been tempered, just waiting for the opportunity...
Until she met Lin Qingyao.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family is known as the "Jade-faced Gentleman" in the world.
Everyone said that she was as gentle as jade and as compassionate as Buddha.
But what Su Hanren saw was:
The scar on her wrist that matched her old injury;
She played the sword music late at night that only the descendants of the Su family could know;
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake she served, my mother's favorite;
There was also the bottomless pain and watchfulness in her eyes.
"If killing me can relieve your knot, then do it."
As the candlelight flickered, Lin Qingyao closed her eyes and raised her neck, exposing her fragile throat.
Su Hanren's sword edge touched that inch of skin, trembling for the first time in ten years.
Later she found out:
The last letter written by his father before his death was "protect Yao'er well".
In that fire, someone fought against the fire for her.
And the secrets Lin Qingyao kept were enough to overturn the entire world.
Intention: There is great love in the world
