Prologue, the Heartless Lover

After taking my pulse, the doctor concluded that I am pregnant, with a gestation period of one month

I originally thought that upon bringing me into the residence, he would cherish me like a precious gem, but that was not the case; he merely tossed me into a remote and secluded chamber, ignoring me completely

I thought he would say something, but he did not. He coldly turned around and walked away.

The greatest pain is when the love one believed to be true turns into hatred

I have no tires to slide on, and Bu said to him that I have not yet slid on tires. Thus, the anger in his heart will not dissipate

This face, handsome and robust as ever, I have never been able to see through

He led his army to attack Jin, and the capital city of Luoyang fell. He ordered the city market of Luoyang to be set ablaze, killing thirty thousand nobles and officials of the Great Jin, his hands stained with blood, his body reeking of slaughter. If I, this past queen, am not his captive, then what am I

I looked at him, and he looked at me; our eyes met, devoid of any sentiment, only strangeness remained

At that moment, the general arrived, and a beautiful concubine immediately approached him, weeping softly in his arms and recounting her grievances

At last, he has arrived, on the fifth day since he came to take me into the mansion, he has finally come.

The cold wind howled, the sound of "woo woo" was like the cries of ghosts and wolves, the window panes banged with a "bang bang" sound, and the maid hurried to close the window.

After Mr. Bu and the gentleman left, I laughed for a long, long time

Indeed, I am his captive

This is Bu's cunning and intimidation; she wants me to be unable to establish myself in the residence, to provoke the general's anger, and to make him lose all hope in me

I smiled gently, he did not give me a bowl of medicine to induce a miscarriage, but instead cruelly and cold-bloodedly took away the child in my womb

Heart-wrenching

I looked at him, my heart filled with a myriad of emotions, and a warmth surged through my brow.

It seems that I am merely his captive

This life is filled with thorns and shadows of blades, this path is one of heart-wrenching pain and the fluctuations of life and death

There are concubines urging me to hurry, and I can only continue walking. Even though my feet are bruised and battered, I must keep going

The sharp fragments pierced through the sole of my shoe, embedding themselves into the sole of my foot, and the excruciating pain made me dare not take another step

He struck violently, tormenting me with his brutality and coldness, like the wind and lightning, destroying everything.

He helped his beloved concubine sit down, gazing at me with cold eyes, then swept his gaze around the room with an expressionless look.

They deliberately said things to provoke me, and although I was angry inside, I remained composed; they bullied me and ordered me to serve them, and I complied without any complaints. They became even more infuriated, and one of the maids poured a cup of hot tea over herself, yet claimed that I harbored resentment and poured the scalding tea on her.

I am at a loss for words and do not wish to engage in a debate

Two days ago, his wife, Mrs. Bu, kindly came to see me and even brought a doctor to take my pulse, saying that he would help me properly regulate my health

"Good! Interesting!" He responded generously, pinching the maid's cheek.

He actually treated me this way

He rudely parted my legs, and in an instant, a sharp pain surged through me, overwhelming and all-encompassing

"Yang Xianrong, are you not going to comply?" Bu's words were cold and sarcastic

On that afternoon, at the invitation of Mr. Bu, I went to the front yard to have tea and engage in casual conversation with the sisters.

"What do you want me to do, my king?" he asked淡淡地.

Many years ago

Not long after, he rose with a lack of interest, adjusted his robe, and leaned down to stare at me

Such pain is cruel, harsh, and resolute

I know what he wants to do, I do not wish to resist, I obediently loosen my robe, leaving only my undergarment.

Everyone in the mansion knows that I entered with a cursed child, bearing the seed of his siblings

The concubines looked at me as I was being punished, some snickered, some showed disdain, and others remained indifferent

He approached step by step, his face expressionless, with his dark eyes burning with anger

It is akin to the heart-wrenching pain from long ago that tore apart my sanity

I lie as if dead, the corners of my lips slowly curling up

The day before entering the palace, my menstrual period had just ended. How could it be possible to conceive a month’s pregnancy in just five days?

Mr. Bu immediately recounted the entire matter, distorting it to the utmost extent, claiming that I was unwilling to lower myself and acknowledge my inferiority, harboring resentment and hatred, and that I had splashed tea on the maid, causing her injury

As he spoke, his robust body pressed down, just like that night in the thatched cottage; he was heavy, so heavy that I could hardly breathe

The pain gradually faded away, leaving only a chilling indifference in his eyes

For three consecutive nights, each night filled with ecstasy, each night marked by cruelty, each night subjected to ravage

Taking a deep breath, I resolutely stepped forward, treading on the fragments, one step, another step, and yet another step

The stunningly beautiful maidservant, who had just poured tea over herself, nestled in his arms and pleaded in a delicate voice: "I regarded her as a sister, yet she harbors such hostility. General, you must stand up for me..."

A chill sets in, leaving the hands and feet icy cold

I am the Empress of the Great Jin, he is a general of the Han Kingdom, and now he holds a significant position, having been granted the title of King of Zhongshan

The maidservants disregarded the advice, smashing the teacups in their hands onto the ground, demanding that the Bu family uphold justice for them and punish me, this lowly person

I offered no resistance, for even in resistance, there would be no escape

Heart, intense pain

"These tea cups were all broken by her, but..." The maid's gaze shifted, "She is quite pitiful; let her go back and rest, but she must walk over these shards first"

"Undress." His voice was deep and cold

Just as I was about to undress, a sudden sound of the door being pushed open was heard

"Are you feeling heartbroken?" He grasped my chin, the malice in his eyes was shocking, "I will never allow the spawn in your womb to be born!"

This shabby room is as cold as a snowfield, the maid shivers and rubs her hands; I instructed her to leave and take a rest

I dare not tremble, nor can I show any signs of weakness

He extended his long arm, pushing me down onto the bed, and commanded in a serious yet wicked tone: "Tonight, serve me in bed"

Bu urged four or five of his concubines, saying that the sisters should be harmonious and work together to serve the general

Indeed, all men in the world are unfaithful lovers

The general's face was so calm that it sent a chill down one's spine, revealing not a trace of compassion. In the past, he too was equally cold and ruthless.
