The Villain Went Mad After I Faked My Death

Everyone in the capital knew that Chancellor Shen married the princess as a political transaction, without a trace of affection.

He had always thought so too.

He knew the princess loved him humbly and timidly, and coldly, arrogantly accepted everything she did for him.

He thought it was simply another way to sweeten their deal.

So when assassins seized the princess and the woman he cared about, he abandoned the princess and let them take her away.

As she passed him, the princess glanced at him. The tenderness she'd shown him in their intimate moments was gone from her eyes.

At that moment, Chancellor Shen regretted it.

Then he watched with his own eyes as the princess fell into the rushing tide with the assassins, leaving no trace of her body.

The world fell into darkness. He had extinguished with his own hands the only light in his life.

From then on, Chancellor Shen, adored by everyone in the Tianyang Dynasty, went mad.

[With Changle gone, no one remains in Tianyang. All gods and Buddhas may be slain; even Hell is no worse.]

What he didn't know was that

the capital had lost a princess, but the martial world had gained a swordsman called Wei Wu.

She charmed everyone she met and lived a life of carefree freedom.

As for Chancellor Shen, who cares who he loves!

#You called us a sham marriage, and now you blame me for having no heart#

#You said we were making a deal while I was talking about love. But when you wanted to talk about love, I only wanted to make a deal. That's what you call fair#

A chaotic age is coming. Even with armies at the gates and no way back, she will turn the tide and keep the world she belongs to in the light forever.
