The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

If Situ Yaorao saw this, she would definitely be surprised. How could Liu Wuchen, always so masterful, be so lonely and sad? If Qian Shuier saw this, she would probably think that Liu Wuchen was up to something again.

Liu Wuchen—the name didn't suit the femme fatale before him. He was Wuchen, but his eyes were fixed on killing. For Liu Wuchen, nothing was necessary, nothing was persistent. He only wanted to witness the misery of others. Nothing more. And the purpose of each of his actions was simply to find loneliness.

If I had to find a reason for his behavior, it would probably be jealousy. Everyone could easily have what he didn't have.

He alone has nothing to his name and is always losing.

Liu Wuchen was a crazy person, so he had no expectations of what he would encounter, nor did he expect what he would gain in the future. All he wanted was for everyone to lose equally.

However, he never dreamed that the consequences would also fall on him. When he later learned about his feelings, he completely collapsed. Of course, this is a story for later.

Situ Yaorao thought she was a calm person. However, looking at Tan Tai Wu Yue beside her, seeing his indifferent expression, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Holding his hand, Situ Yaorao felt her throat dry. Perhaps, she really loved this man?

"I...will be able to detoxify soon." Situ Yaorao's voice was soft, with a hint of anticipation. Even she herself didn't know what she was expecting. However, Tantai Wuyue smiled back at her.

What does it feel like to like someone?

Tantai Wuyue looked at the shy woman beside him, thinking of their wedding night, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. Perhaps this was the ultimate love, right?

He once thought that he would meet a woman who would live in harmony with him. That woman must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be very gentle, and able to accept all his flaws. Perhaps, he would meet a woman who had no talent, but loved him wholeheartedly, lived for him, and died for him. He also thought that he would meet such a woman, that woman, with beautiful appearance, gentle voice, and dignified and generous. She would take care of everything for him, so that he would not have to worry about anything. But he never thought that he would meet the woman next to him. She was like a hedgehog, wrapping herself tightly. She was afraid of getting hurt. She would curl herself up at the slightest sign of trouble.

She wasn't gentle enough, nor was she considerate enough. She was clever, but she knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was generous, but she couldn't manage the Prince's residence for him. She was like a cloud in the sky, ready to leave at any moment.

Her exquisite face has attracted countless people's attention.

She was more than a little different from what he had imagined, but somehow, after seeing her, he fell in love with her. He liked her spiritedness under the moonlight, and also liked her choice of Wu Tianlin, the man everyone shuddered at, during the women's exam, to avoid humiliating her mother and herself from being embarrassed. He loved her even more, the proud expression on her face after she emerged.

At that time, he was thinking, maybe... this is the person he likes? She is not as perfect as those he imagined, but she makes his heart beat fast.

Reason and emotion ultimately desire different things. Ultimately, his reason lost to his emotions. He married her regardless.

Now, he never regretted it, even though her life or death was uncertain.

Tantai Wuyue touched Situ Yaorao's head and said softly, "I will wait for you, so don't worry. As long as you are alive, it is better than anything else."

Tantai Wuyue's tone was so gentle, so gentle that it broke Situ Yaorao's last bit of defense. She slowly hugged him and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Tantai Wuyue asked in confusion, but he continued to touch her head soothingly, trying to dispel his anxiety. Ever since he regained his memory, he noticed that she had been very uneasy during this period.

"Regarding my unreasonable behavior towards you," Situ Yaorao's voice was soft, but Tantai Wuyue laughed upon hearing it. He lifted her chin and gently kissed her lips before separating. "I love you, even your unreasonable behavior. So, don't say sorry to me. The fact that you left your good life in the capital and came to Luocheng to chase me proves everything. As long as you love me, even if you kill me in the name of love, I will not resent you. This is my promise to you, you must remember."

The man's voice was so gentle.

Situ Yaorao heard this, raised her head, and looked at him. Looking at him, her heart gradually calmed down. Yes, this person liked him, so there was no apology between him and her.

And what she...had to do was to survive. Only by surviving could she carry this relationship through to the end.

Thinking of this, Situ Yaorao's heart became firm. "I'll soon get the Ganoderma Lucidum, and Liu Wuchen will probably send me news about the Seven Star Grass soon. As long as I have these two things, Xue Ming will help me remove the poison, and then there will be no more obstacles between us. So, wait for me."

Situ Yaorao's words made Tantai Wuyue chuckle. "Haven't I been waiting for you? When you recover, we'll have a child. And the day I ascend the throne, he'll be the crown prince. All of Lanlin will be his," Tantai Wuyue said. Situ Yaorao blushed at the words. "Bah! Shameless! How can you guarantee you'll become emperor? What if it's not you who ascends the throne? Wouldn't our child be miserable?"

"If I have a child, I will definitely be the one to ascend the throne. Even for the sake of the child, I will not give up this land of Lanlin, no matter the cost."

As he spoke, Tan Tai Wu Yue's expression was serious, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented earnestness. Situ Yaorao stared at him blankly, then suddenly understood. Perhaps this was the real Tan Tai Wu Yue? Not as gentle as he was with her, nor as cold and aloof as he was with outsiders. Domineering and confident, this was the real him.

And this is also the temperament that a prince should have.

"If you succeed, that would be great." Situ Yaorao also touched his face: "I also want to see you rule the world. You will definitely look even more beautiful then."

"It looks good?" Tan Tai Wu Yue had a strange look on his face.

"Yes, it looks good." Situ Yaorao smiled, but didn't say anything more. The two of them looked at each other in silence all the way. After returning to Luocheng, they walked apart...
