Shen Cuiwu came from a humble background, but she married Xue Lang, the governor. They were married for three years. They had a strong relationship and lived a leisurely life.
Until one day, she received a letter.
The familiar arrogant handwriting mixed with the smell of blood pierced her eyes——
"I found you.
Are you actually married? My good Cuicui, you are as bold as ever.
How dare you leave me without even saying goodbye?
Oh, no, you left me a farewell gift and stuck a dagger in my heart. Hiss - it really hurts.
How abominable.
Do you still remember the tragic death of the snake in the carriage three days ago? That's my reunion gift to you.
It looks so much like you. With my hatred for you, I ended it with one knife. Do you like it?
You look so cute when you're scared.
My good Cuicui, do you know? I will always be by your side. The two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake you ate yesterday were a bit too sweet, right?
Don't be nervous, put down the tea cup quickly, I don't want to burn you. "
The feeling of horror spread, cold sweat broke out on her back, and the feeling of being spied on suddenly intensified.
She lowered her eyes, and the steaming tea in the cup in her hand seemed to reflect the man's strange smile.
She suddenly stood up and looked around, but she was the only one in the room.
She knew who the letter was from—
He was her childhood sweetheart.
It was when she climbed up to Xue Lang that she stabbed her lover, Ji Dongchen, with a dagger into his heart in order to get rid of the burden of the past.

The peaceful days gradually become strange.
There are often things around her that shouldn't be there——
The crow that was crushed under the fallen flowers and trampled to a bloody pulp, Xue Lang's broken hair... And the kiss marks on her neck that were not from her husband.
She was so scared that she hid the key points and told Xue Lang about it.
But Xue Lang held her and comforted her on the bed, telling her not to worry too much.
She clearly saw a pair of familiar and sinister eyes flashing behind the screen.
*
No one could find him, even if Xue Lang sent people to search everywhere, there was no trace.
But it also angered him.
He began to appear behind her like a ghost regardless of the occasion, even if her husband was only one step away from her.
He covered her eyes, and a familiar and hoarse low voice appeared in her ears. His breath on her neck was like the breath of a poisonous snake, with a sticky and moist coolness.
"Cui Cui, let me think about it, how should I punish you?"
