[Coldhearted Young Lady x Devoted Ghostly Man]

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Chengtian, Liang Ning picked up a disfigured boy from the snow.

The boy lay prostrate in the snow like a rain-swallow beaten by frost. She named him Fuxue.

He had nowhere to go, so she kept him by her side as a personal attendant.

Liang Ning had been frail since childhood. As a daughter born to a concubine, she was not favored by the head of the household.

There was no charcoal to warm her in winter, so Fuxue warmed her bed.

She had no guards by her side, so he became the blade in her hand.

His young lady thought his scars ugly, so he wore a mask every day.

One night, Liang Ning held Fuxue's hand and told him how fortunate she was to have him in this life.

Then one day, Lady Liang happened to see Fuxue and ordered him to attend her that night.

The matriarch of the Liang family was debauched and had unusual tastes. Quite a few of her male consorts had already been tormented to death in her bed.

Fuxue knelt before Liang Ning and begged her to have mercy and not send him to Lady Liang.

But the young woman, who had always treated him tenderly, merely curled her lips, gave a light cough, and smiled coldly. "If Mother likes you, then go to her."
