Pei Wenjing is the youngest prime minister of the Great Yuan, a powerful figure who wields influence over the court and holds a lofty position.
Prime Minister Pei is refined and handsome beyond compare. He is usually quiet, aloof, and noble, living alone in a grand residence. Very few people catch his eye.
Gu Jiu never expected to see that person again after all these years.
The Great Yuan army is unstoppable, leaving the State of An unable to fight back. At the most critical moment, an imperial edict from a Great Yuan eunuch appears at the gates of An's capital: If you want to save your country, send the Sixth Princess to marry into the Great Yuan.
For the sake of peace, Gu Jiu climbs into the bridal sedan on her way to the Great Yuan, marrying the man she had loved for years.
On their wedding night,
Pei Wenjing enters in a bright red wedding robe.
Before her stands Pei Wenjing, elegant and majestic. His tipsy black eyes fix on her, and beneath their misty, mountain-haze softness lurks an inscrutable, eerie glint.
Under his oppressive gaze, Gu Jiu trembles as she calls out, "Prime Minister?"
"Princess."
His voice is low and hoarse. A large hand slips around Gu Jiu's waist and pulls her into his arms. The delicate scent of sandalwood fills her nose, then pain flashes through her arm.
A faint smell of blood drifts through the room. Gu Jiu's eyes widen.
She watches Pei Wenjing pull a hairpin from his waist and, without a hint of tenderness, prick her arm with it, collecting a small cup of blood.
"Does it hurt?" The man's eyes instantly clear. He releases his grip on her and stores the blood away himself.
"There's gauze and disinfectant over there. Treat it yourself."
"It's our wedding night. If I leave, there may be rumors tomorrow that will hurt you."
"You'll sleep over there tonight."
As he speaks, Gu Jiu follows his gaze to a small couch beside the wedding bed. Pei Wenjing lies down on the large red wedding bed and closes his eyes to rest.
Only later does she learn that Prime Minister Pei married her for her blood.
Pei Wenjing has a secret first love, but Luo Yunxue has been bedridden with a strange illness for eight years. He married Gu Jiu for her!
Later,
Gu Jiu is pale and near death. "Prime Minister, I really... can't give any more. Miss Luo... hasn't she woken up yet?"
"You knew all along?" Pei Wenjing staggers, his eyes reddening, fists clenched.
After Gu Jiu leaves for good, Pei Wenjing goes mad overnight. He massacres the Luo family and burns Luo Yunxue's body, then locks himself in the temple, chanting sutras and praying every day. A man who never believed in gods or Buddha begins begging for a miracle that will bring the dead back to life.

It's still pretty good. Why don't you update it?
I was really speechless. I said I would finish writing the New Year meeting and the New Year would be over.
I remember it wasn't this book before, right? Where is the book you promised me to finish? Have you changed to another book?
What the hell is this? Why did you change the article?
What the hell is this? Why did you change the article?
This year has passed. You said you could follow me years ago, but you haven't updated me yet.
It's already this month, why haven't you updated it yet? I really want to see it. Isn't it a lie again?
When will it be updated? When you said it would be finished, did you mean in a few years?
This kind of author just likes to deceive readers about the daily updates they promised before. She didn't follow, and then I asked her and he said that the National Day update has already passed a chapter and I haven't seen him update it.
Hi author, I just want to mention your guide My King. In fact, before you changed the copy, I was really looking forward to the ending, even the sub-CP, but you suddenly changed the copy and replaced the chapters. At that time, I suddenly felt empty and stopped pursuing it. Do you still remember the original outline? I just want to know the ending (crying). It's okay if I forget. Finally, I wish you a speed of 5,000 per hour (hug) (bixin)
