The most loss-making business Shen Li ever made in her life was when she was six years old - her father traded his life for the bones of a ten-year-old boy.
Fifteen years later, she sneaked into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to steal a secret letter, and was forced to interrogate her identity by the blood-soaked prince Xie Wuwu who lifted his chin with a knife. She didn't shy away and said backhand that he dreamed of his deceased mother last night - "The evil spirit between your eyebrows is as black as ink."
From then on, she was a prisoner in the west courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and the only person who could calm him down when he had a headache.
On a thunderstorm night, she sat astride him and held his face to suck him away. He pinched her neck and asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?" She smiled charmingly: "The prince's evil spirit is so fragrant, death is worth it."
He thought she was a pawn. She thought he was a tool.
Until she was in prison, covered in blood, she mouthed to him - "Don't believe me, kill me." When he turned around, the scabbard hit the threshold, and the "ta" sound was heavier than any words of love.
Later she found out that her father's death was related to his evil bones. On the day when the dagger was pressed against her heart, she smiled and said, "Xie Wuwang, if you touch a hair of mine, it will be a new debt."
She "died" before he could repay his debt. His hair grew old overnight, and he searched all over the south of the Yangtze River for three years.
When he found her, she was blind and forgot about everyone, but when he was kneeling to pick up broken porcelain pieces, she subconsciously blew on his bleeding hand.
His eyes were red: "Lili, let me be your evil spirit this time, okay?"
She didn't answer. But she reached out.
——He was covered in evil bones, so hot that he burned through the world. But it was the betrothal gift that her father paid for with his life.
Intention: Love is not about possession, it is about being willing to trade your body for her to say "I'll wait for you to come".
