A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Achi...don't be afraid, I will face everything with you and help you avenge your enemies."

Tears welled up in Bai Luoluo's eyes. At this moment, she felt heartache, pity, and even a desire to protect the man in front of her.

He shouldn't have to bear so much; even the strongest person has a vulnerable side.

In the past, when she was reading books, she would think, why should such good and righteous people be harmed by these people?

He failed in his struggle for the throne, lost everyone he cared about, and ultimately died at the hands of his own brother, who was the one who ordered his execution.

He was stripped of his royal title, left to rot in the wilderness, and his infamy would last for eternity.

Gu Yanchi looked at the person in his arms and reached out to hug her tightly.

"Luo'er, I am a person who lives in the abyss, and I will bring misfortune to those around me."

Gu Yanchi rested his chin on Bai Luoluo's neck and shoulder, and a single tear rolled down his cheek.

He knew that revenge would require a fight to the death with the Empress, and he didn't want to involve Bai Luoluo.

If he truly dies from the Gu poison, these people will not spare his only wife in this life.

Poisoning, framing his mother—all for the damned throne.

Since that's the case, he will definitely do whatever it takes to get the throne.

If he fails to seize the throne, he will take the empress with him even in death, but his beloved Luo'er is so kind that she shouldn't die with him.

Misfortune is all fate, and it doesn't happen because of any one person.

Don't say that again. Achi is good-looking, skilled in martial arts, kind-hearted, and righteous. He should be the chosen one.

"Heaven has bestowed a great responsibility upon you, and the path will surely be fraught with thorns. But I believe that Achi can clear all obstacles, and will transform into a dragon when the winds of change blow."

Bai Luoluo's voice was gentle, like a soothing medicine, calming the wounded heart of the person before her.

A warm feeling flowed through Gu Yanchi's body, and at this moment he felt as if he were holding the only treasure in the world.

"Luo'er, if I really die, you must take good care of yourself. Gu Yanjin is no good man. Find someone who truly loves you, is obedient to you, and understands you to spend the rest of your life with. I will turn into a gentle breeze to protect you."

Since it was a Gu worm planted by the Empress, he certainly wouldn't live to see the detoxification; he's probably already impatient.

He had to make arrangements for his affairs after his death, lest he lose his mind and have no chance to speak again.

Bai Luoluo immediately pushed him away, her eyes filled with displeasure.

This guy is actually giving her his last instructions. Is her medical skill really that bad?

Now that she has a live Gu worm in hand, she can speed up her research and prevent him from exploding and dying.

Seeing Bai Luoluo's angry expression, Gu Yanchi sighed softly.

"If I live to be a hundred, I will grant Luo'er a carefree life. I am willing to share all the splendor of the world with you." Gu Yanchi stepped forward and took Bai Luoluo's small hand, his eyes filled with affection and reluctance. "The Empress will not sit idly by and wait for death. Before that, I will make all preparations to fight to the death. If I lose or die, do not be sad for me. Luo'er only needs to live happily."

Selfish as he is, all he wants is to see it every day during his lifetime.

Such sentimental and sorrowful words only made Bai Luoluo feel heartbroken.

Why did she say that? She felt like crying.

He said he would live to be a hundred and promise her a worry-free life, and those words were the death knell for her.

Once you've been touched by love, even a little bit, you'll never forget it in your life.

He's such a good person, it's heartbreaking.

"Don't be so sad in the prime of your life. I still want to see Achi surrounded by children and grandchildren."

Achi, you can't give up. Now that I have the Gu worms, I will find a way.

Bai Luoluo reached out and smoothed his brows, and the two looked at each other like that.

Looking at the person in front of him, Gu Yanchi lowered his head and slowly approached.

Bai Luoluo's heart was pounding wildly as she looked at the devilishly handsome face so close to her.

What is he going to do?

At this moment, Bai Luoluo remained motionless, yet for some reason, she still felt a sense of anticipation.

Is she sick? She's actually thinking—

"Luo'er—is that alright?"

Gu Yanchi whispered in her ear, his voice low and hoarse.

At that moment, Bai Luoluo seemed to be bewitched, nodding as if possessed.

Seeing that she agreed, a hint of smugness appeared in Gu Yanchi's eyes.

Call him greedy or selfish, but at this moment he desperately wanted to do it.

The next second, Gu Yanchi had no more scruples and kissed her directly.

The movements were gentle, as if they were treasures.

The warm touch stirred his heart and stirred up waves of emotion.

Bai Luoluo closed her eyes tightly, feeling her breathing quicken, her mind going blank for a moment as she endured his intense heat.

Gu Yanchi reached out and grabbed her slender waist, trapping her in his arms.

Time seemed to stand still. Bai Luoluo, as if drowning, instinctively clung to the person in front of her, yearning for oxygen.

Upon receiving a response, his gentleness took on a different flavor.

Constant aggression...

Domineering to the point of being forceful, passionate, and crazy!!!

———！ ！ ！

In that moment of excitement, they forgot everything else, only the sound of their pounding hearts remained.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Bai Luoluo felt like she was suffocating to death, Gu Yanchi released her.

Bai Luoluo felt dizzy and nestled obediently against him.

Everything around them seemed to stand still, except for his heartbeat and her tenderness.

"Luo'er, it was my selfishness. I didn't know how long I would live, and I shouldn't have treated you like this."

After calming down, Gu Yanchi felt some regret for his selfishness.

Faced with the only light, he only wanted to grasp it and savor the happiest moment of his life within the limited time he had.

"Don't say things that you did willingly."

Bai Luoluo seemed to understand that she actually liked Gu Yanchi, but she always felt that they were from different worlds and that she had to return to the modern world.

They were afraid to bear the pain of losing each other and dared not face their own hearts.

Looking back now, I realize that even I, who was once fearless, had things I was afraid of.

Now that she has faced her own heart, she shouldn't run away.

Perhaps, in the end of this book, they will all die.

Instead of that, why not live in the moment and enjoy the feeling of being in love?

If she really died, she would feel like she had never had a man, even as a ghost she would feel like she had lost out.

"Luo'er, you........."

Gu Yanchi couldn't believe it; had he misheard?

Willingly, that means she likes herself.

Let's start dating.

Bai Luoluo looked up at him, her face serious.

Gu Yanchi didn't understand what being in a relationship meant.

Seeing the puzzled look on the man's face, Bai Luoluo smiled.

Seeing this, Gu Yanchi's Adam's apple bobbed, and a surge of heat rose from within his body.

"Luo'er, don't laugh like that, I can't stand it."

Seeing the intense gaze, Bai Luoluo's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately lowered her eyes.

"Being in a relationship means two people being together, being a couple, truly loving each other, and not distinguishing between each other."

Gu Yanchi had never been so happy; his Luo'er had agreed to be with him.
