Chang Nian is the hidden blade in the hands of the second prince.
The Shen family was wiped out, and the orphan Shen Ran was sold into a brothel, and was rescued by the cold-faced and iron-blooded Captain. Everyone knew that her circumstances were strange, but Chang Nian knew clearly that the real Shen Ran had died long ago, and she pretended to be Shen Ran to perform a carefully choreographed play.
Her body is loose, the full moon will corrode her bones and cause severe pain, her life is in the palm of others' hands.
There is only one way to survive: sneak into Jin Xiao's mansion and find evidence of the prince's rebellion.
But Jin Xiao is different from the rumors.
According to rumors, he killed ruthlessly and his hands were stained with blood. He was the sharpest knife in the hands of the prince.
But he saved her from the quagmire and never asked for repayment.
Provide her with medical consultations, tailor her clothes, arrange everything for her properly,
Holding the sword and teaching her to protect herself, he warned her in a low voice: "Living is harder than dying. But you have to live."
He looked at her indifferently, but he still wanted to find a stable family for her to marry and live in peace before he met his end.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The emperor was old and obsessed with immortality, and the second prince was gaining momentum. In order to secure his throne, the prince secretly ordered Jin Xiao to search for the precious light sand, and eat the dragon's body with elixirs to help him successfully succeed to the throne.
Jin Xiao's heart is like a bright mirror. The day he succeeds will be the day when his bird is gone and his life is lost.
Being in the chess game and unable to control himself, he had already looked down on life and death and waited for the fate to end.
————————————————————————————
Chang Nian told himself that this was all acting.
But when the poison took effect on a full moon night, she curled up on the ground in pain, and all she could think about was the warmth of his palm when he held her hand.
Feelings grow quietly, lies wrapped in sincerity, sinking step by step.
Until that day, the prince's secret order was sent to the Jin Mansion.
Jin Xiao read the letter, cleaned his sword, put on his court clothes, and walked out with a normal expression.
She stopped him: "Where are you going?"
"If you let me die, I will have to die."
Chang Nian drew his sword and stood in front of him
"The damn person was never you."
Intention: Even if fate forces you to die, I want you to live well.
