The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

For the twenty-odd years he had lived, ever since he could remember, he had been constantly flattered. Everyone in the palace wore a mask. He had been intelligent since childhood, easily seeing through others. Gradually, he took pleasure in this, wanting to see through everyone's facade. To him, everything was a lie.

Even the prince he respected had a side that was unknown to the public.

He seems to be very gentle to everyone, but in fact, he is disrespectful to everyone. Tantai Yunyi, in essence, is a tall man.

Tantai Wuyue had said this when they first met, asking him not to be so arrogant.

However, Tantai Yunyi had the capital. He could see through everyone. He could see through anyone. As long as he wanted, he could get whatever he wanted. So why couldn't he look down on others?

This idea did not change until he met Situ Yaorao.

He couldn't fathom what this woman was thinking. She was so weak, yet she always argued with unreasonable arguments. She was the eldest daughter of the Situ family, yet she endured the injustices of the Situ family.

But even so, he had never seen her give in.

When he first saw her poisoned by the Moonlight Poison, he felt a little shaken in his heart. Why, even at this moment, was she unwilling to admit defeat?

She spoke softly, but the stubbornness in her eyes betrayed her.

He hated her. That was his first thought. Yes, he hated her. He hated this woman who didn't know how to admit defeat and was so hard to fathom. He had always been a man of his own accord, but for the first time, he was being overly cruel to a woman. He repeatedly said hurtful things to her, making her feel like he loathed her to the core. But in reality, he couldn't bring himself to hate her.

I am always attracted to her, and always do things I shouldn't do because of her.

Everything had changed since that time with the carp by the lake. If he were in the past, the first thing he would have done would have been to kill the person who knew about it, rather than letting her live.

At this moment, looking at the woman lying there, Tantai Yunyi chuckled softly. This laughter was a little crazy.

People say there's no antidote for Yue Hua's poison, but that's actually not true. There is an antidote, but it's incredibly strange. Tan Tai Yun Yi smiled and slit his wrists.

He grabbed the woman's chin and fed the blood into her mouth.

The blood of a person of extreme yang is the best remedy. And the life of a person of extreme yang is the antidote. Tan Tai Yun Yi never dreamed that he would ever reach such a limit.

But, watching the woman's complexion gradually recover, he didn't regret it. Even if she didn't know who was helping her, he didn't regret it. Some things, once you get used to them, you can never leave them. Once Situ Yaorao gets used to sucking his blood, she will never want to leave. In the end, she will be his.

Thinking of this, Tan Tai Yun Yi felt a surge of joy. Dark clouds covered the moon, making the man's appearance unclear in the night. At some point, a woman holding a lamp emerged from the darkness and respectfully bandaged Tan Tai Yun Yi's wound.

"Xie Yue, don't show up again without my order." Tan Tai Yunyi fiddled with his wrist and gave a light order.

"Yes, master. But master... your blood is very precious, how can you give it to this woman casually?" Xie Yue said with some dissatisfaction.

"I did this voluntarily. It has nothing to do with her."

"But."

"There's no but. My blood is very precious to you, but to me, it's of no use at all. If... this blood can make her inseparable from me, I'd be glad. After all, apart from this, I have no other way to defeat that person." After Tan Tai Yun Yi finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and let the woman leave.

Situ Yaorao felt as if she were dreaming. In her dream, she was first frozen in ice, then roasted by a raging fire. Gradually, the ice melted, and she, too, gradually regained consciousness.

Opening her eyes, Situ Yaorao was met with the man's delicate face. He looked as calm and composed as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Situ Yaorao looked around in confusion, still on the mountain, still at night.

"Why did I wake up suddenly? Generally speaking, don't I wake up after a night when the sun comes out?" Situ Yaorao asked puzzledly.

"I just used some methods to wake you up. However, there is no way to cure your poison." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly.

"Used some methods?" Situ Yaorao was a little confused.

"Yes, I used some tricks to make you wake up. Of course, I can only relieve your pain." Tan Tai Yun Yi said.

"This is already very good. I thought I would be tormented by this poison for a whole night before waking up. Thank you." Situ Yaorao said, her eyes falling on his wrist.

Seeing this, Tan Tai Yun Yi hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves.

"You won't drink my blood, will you?" Situ Yaorao was a little scared.

"Yeah." Tantai Yunyi nodded. Situ Yaorao felt unwell.

"Only blood can dissipate the cold poison in your body. If not, you wouldn't be able to wake up." Tan Tai Yun Yi explained. Situ Yao Rao didn't know how to thank Tan Tai Yun Yi.

"You saved me, how can I thank you?" Situ Yaorao looked at the man with slightly dimmed eyes.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. Besides, why should you thank me? I just hope someone can be by my side to accompany me to enjoy the scenery. If you lie there, I won't even be in the mood to enjoy the scenery." Tan Tai Yunyi's tone was very light, and Situ Yaorao smiled when she heard it.

"You are really cold-hearted. However, now that you have said this, if I don't go with you to enjoy the scenery, wouldn't it be ungrateful?" After Situ Yaorao finished speaking, she sat down beside the man.

Tantai Yunyi's smile was faint, and it was unclear what he was thinking. But deep down, Situ Yaorao was sincerely grateful to this person. After all, letting someone drink one's blood took courage.

"Does your wrist hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Just enjoy the scenery. I'll take you back later." said Tan Tai Yun Yi.

"You seem like a different person, suddenly gentle." Situ Yaorao murmured softly. She was a little uncomfortable with this kind of Tan Tai Yun Yi. She was used to bickering with Tan Tai Yun Yi on a daily basis, and this man's gentleness made her feel uneasy.

Tantai Yunyi was stunned when he heard this. Then he couldn't help but sigh. Situ Yaorao was too cunning. She didn't easily accept the kindness of others. Because there was some kindness that she couldn't repay.

But this kind of temper made Tan Tai Yun Yi laugh and cry. He walked to Situ Yaorao's side and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm only like this because of the poison you took effect tonight. I used to stay away from women like you. Only the prince must be blind to fall for you."

"Damn it!" Situ Yaorao was annoyed. This person is really like March weather, changing in an instant.

"You had a conflict with Lao Jiu today, right?" Tan Tai Yunyi's voice sounded again. Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't be confused. It's difficult for me to be ignorant of what's happening in the capital. Moreover, the affairs of Zhuyue Tower are the focus of everyone's attention. Old Nine, you broke the jade artifact of Zhuyue Tower, and this matter has long been known to everyone." Tan Tai Yun Yi said lightly. Situ Yaorao heard this and smiled awkwardly: "It's not my fault."

"No matter whose fault it is, you handled this matter inappropriately. Although the Crown Prince helped you, it's also a problem for him. He rarely argues with the Ninth Prince and his men. In the past, he always gave in to them. But today, he refuses to give in for you. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the Queen, you have become a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people."

"People say that beautiful women are the root of trouble. Shouldn't I be able to enjoy the same treatment?" Situ Yaorao said half-jokingly.

"Don't be so indifferent. The matter of imperial power is so serious. The prince suddenly behaves like this. I believe that father will make a decision soon. I hope you can still laugh by then." Tan Tai Yunyi shook his head helplessly.
