"She used her eyes as bait to carve out the bloody path in the mountains and rivers."
"He used his broken body as a sheath to imprison all the spring beauty in the world."
Su Zhenyao, the most powerful courtesan by the Gusu River, has a poison-quenching embroidered spring knife——
The handkerchiefs she embroiders can send high-ranking officials to hell, and the scrolls she draws can lure Japanese pirates to their deaths.
But no one knew that every time she embroidered a stitch, her left eye would become darker.
Until that night when he cut the cuffs of Admiral Dongchang to collect evidence, and a centipede-shaped red mark burned into his eyes...
It was exactly the same as the birthmark on her brother's wrist that was splattered with blood at the execution ground three years ago!
Xie Chenyuan, the governor of the East Factory known as Living Yama.
The hand that held her waist cut out a human heart, and the finger that tied her hairpin broke the emperor's heir.
He smiled as she put the silver needle into his throat: "You want to kill us? You have to use a more ruthless move."
But on a rainy night, he killed all her pursuers and wrapped her trembling body in a blood-stained cloak:
"It's easier to rely on our family than to risk your life."
When she was blinded while embroidering the coastal defense map, he held her ulcerated fingertips and pressed them against her heart:
"From now on, our family will be your eyes."
But when the hot iron of the water prison scorched his back, she heard his hoarse laugh amidst the ringing of the chains:
"Su Zheyao... Where is the secret message you are embroidering?"
"It's a knife that cuts out the heart, and it's a marriage certificate that invites our family to hell!"

# The birthmark of the same origin on the wrist reveals a shocking secret: it was not her brother who was executed in the execution ground, but the orphan of the previous dynasty! #
