Plot > Romance
Lu Wuyuan is the only tragic villain Jiang Xi ever wrote to die.
She doesn't want to "kill with words," so she has to save him.
But the man is cold-hearted and antisocial, and refuses to appreciate it. He even tries to capture her and trade her for an antidote!
Jiang Xi stormed off in a huff.
In the pitch-black night, an isolated girl lies injured and bleeding. After a terrifying silence, a quiet but surging line of torches draws near.
Awkwardly, Lu Wuyuan holds out some gauze. "You... patch yourself up."
They have faced life and death together, and stood by each other through danger. She takes a blow for him and speaks up for him; he may be cold on the outside, but he's warm inside, all bark and no bite.
Evil people hate owing others, especially someone like Lu Wuyuan, who's used to being known as a villain.
As poison ravages him and his enemies close in, she clings tightly to him and won't let go. Her tears soak his lapel and shatter his heart.
Lu Wuyuan cups her face. His bloodstained fingertips dare not touch her. "Be a little more ruthless. Survive."
