When she was seven years old, Wen Ruyan hid behind a screen and watched her father being beaten to death with a royal stick.
My father is the commander of the secret guards and knows too much. She didn't join the Jiaofang Department and became the lowest-grade sin slave, who couldn't even keep her name.
At the age of eighteen, she sneaked into the imperial prison to become a Taoist woman. He wiped away the blood every day, traced the terrain every night, and lay dormant for three years just waiting for one person - Lu Zhi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who led the inspection of the Wen family.
She wants him to live and see how he repays this debt.
But she didn't calculate that he already knew who she was. Know it from beginning to end.
He didn't expose or expel her, and even handed the knife to her hand when she was in danger.
She should have hated him.
But he actually counted the more than a thousand days and nights when she took three steps back with the medicine bowl and turned around to leave.
When she ran into the scene of the assassination and pushed away the court official, her mind went blank.
——What she wants is not his death.
What she wants is for someone to see her as a human being.
---
She was the only person he couldn't kill.
He was the only person she didn't want to take advantage of.
The cruelest revenge in the world is when her enemy is still alive but she can't do it.
Intention: Salvation is not about being pulled out of the abyss by good people, but about being truly seen by another person in the abyss.
