Prologue.

I burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.

Make way, I have an urgent matter!

The rough hands of the warrior caressed his chest, while unfamiliar moist lips wandered between his cheeks and neck. The hot breath, tinged with alcohol, landed on his smooth skin, causing a shiver to run through his body, his stomach convulsing, as a sour and bitter liquid surged upwards.

The morning mist is hazy, the mountain trees are translucently green. That stubborn young man with a blushing face is chasing on the mountain road, earnestly admonishing: "In a month, I will definitely come back, and you...? You are not allowed to find another man, do you understand?"

Outside the house, came the greeting of the guards: "Prince Yu, the Emperor has already retired."

Tuoba Ke suddenly stopped moving, and quickly pulled a quilt over me, covering my mouth, along with my sobbing and pleading, and listened attentively.

But Tuoba Ke quickly proved my existence.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare Bao Mo! Bao Mo knows nothing, as he was not even born at that time! With a glimmer of hope, I sobbed and begged.

I was completely suffocated and unable to breathe, let alone call for help.

Yinwei replied: "Your Highness, she is the princess sent by the Southern Dynasty, and she is the younger sister of the current Emperor of the Qi Kingdom."

I became a sacrifice, a failed sacrifice of the Southern Qi, offered before the Wei Emperor.

The belt loosened, layer upon layer of silk and gauze scattered softly, falling onto the gorgeous bright yellow satin of the quilt. The candlelight penetrated through the swaying curtains and filled every inch of the space within the golden bed canopy with bizarre and colorful shadows. Together with the sturdy body, it pressed tightly against me, from heart to body.

It turns out to be the ninth younger brother, Prince Yu, of Tuoba Ke, not my pure and clear as water Axu...

But my sobbing is equally powerless, weakly passing by like the flapping of mosquitoes.

Let's start with you! He raised his hand and threw away the silver cup, making a crisp sound, breaking the hazy silence in the room.

Amidst low sobs, I finally hoarsely shouted out, using both hands and feet to try to push away the heavy and terrifying body on top of me. As my nails scraped across, several bloody marks appeared on the sturdy and robust chest.

My breath suddenly stopped. Did I hear it wrong? Why does this sound so familiar?

The breath that can hit the face, yet so domineeringly unfamiliar, even the sharp gaze can tear my skin, making me frightened and scared. When falling into the thick brocade, the tall figure also pounces in.

"Shut up!" Tuoba Ke scolded in a low voice, seeming somewhat cautious, and pressed the brocade quilt even tighter.

But I still broke my promise.

Axu, I know.

The bamboo forest rustles, it is the first time in my life that I dance for that young man, lightly waving my sleeves, gracefully swirling my robe, accompanied by the wind, laughter as my song, dancing to the tune of "Seeking Fragrance".

A sharp pain suddenly spread out in numbness, deeply piercing into my lower abdomen amidst my screams, like a sharp and fiery knife, mercilessly raging and ravaging inside my body again and again.

Recalling the enmity between my father and his father's killer, I tremble: "Your Majesty, my father has long ascended to the heavens."

The temporary residence of the Northern Wei Emperor during the Southern Expedition against the Qi state.

The phoenix pillow and the luan curtain, with continuous flowing tassels, all leaping before the eyes, faintly revealing the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in the Jiangnan region on the screen, reflecting the deep shadows of the bright yellow curtains, as if filled with misty rain and flying catkins, losing the timeless elegance and charm of the literati's recitations, and the accumulation of countless generations.

"Oh!" A reluctant response.

Even Ninth Brother hates you! Tuoba Ke lightly laughed: "I thought that child wouldn't be able to hate someone!"

Perhaps that almost life-threatening suffocation is a good thing, as it blurs all my senses.

In the uneven low gasping of the man, I heard the sound of the Jiangnan.

The sensation of skin rubbing against skin has become dull, even his caresses and kisses feel like they are separated by a thick cotton coat. I lay there numbly, starting to doubt if this body is really mine.

The Emperor Wei, Tuoba Ke, smiled faintly, as cold as frost: "You are the beloved daughter of Emperor Qi Ming, am I right?"

Trivial windows in late spring, piles of crabapple blossoms, pear blossoms covering the snow, falling flowers with sound. Pairs of swallows fly in the mist of willow smoke and flower fog, softly singing and chirping, as if with a smiling expression.

The brocade quilt was taken away, and the air, filled with the scent of sandalwood and the unfamiliar male presence, pierced into my nostrils. I finally recovered from the near-fainting suffocation, barely opened my eyes, and met the cold and stern countenance of Tuoba Ke, but I couldn't even see the color of his eyes clearly.

At the next moment, my scalp suddenly ached, and my body had already lifted off the ground and quickly fell into a hard arm, as hard as steel casting, just like the oath of eternal love between me and Axu.

Jiangbei, Guangling.

Tuoba Ke's eyes sank, and with a casual grab of his left hand, he had already caught both of my wrists, pinching them in his large palm. With a slight force, the bones collided and caused me to cry out in pain.

Tuòbá Kē wēixiào, línglì ér yīnyù: "Méi guānxì, hái yǒu nǐ hé nǐ de gēgēmen zài! Shíqī nián qián qiànxià de zhàng, zǒng huì yǒu rén lái tǎohuán, zǒng huì yǒu rén lái péicháng!"

My head was buried in the brocade quilt, and I couldn't help but sob. Axu, Axu, is it you? Is it you?

The Prince of Yu outside seems to have heard some movement, then turned and asked, "Has the Emperor taken any concubines with him on the expedition? Who is attending to him today?"

Ha, the daughter of Emperor Qiming! The person chuckled lightly, with a hint of disdain and satisfaction, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

A huge horror suddenly surrounded me, as I stared at his powerful fingers reaching for my belt. Despite my psychological preparation, all I could do at this moment was instinctively scream and crawl back in fear.

The Imperial Guard smiled apologetically and said, "Your Highness, there is a woman accompanying you tonight. It may not be convenient to enter at this time."
