In Wei, there was a handsome chancellor named Shen Zaiye. Ruthless and cunning, with honey on his lips but venom in his heart, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, showing no regard for anyone's life. Tao Hua reasoned, "Surely, everyone appreciates beauty. How could he simply eliminate me without a second thought?" Shen Zaiye's slight smile and subsequent actions conveyed a chilling message-he was not like everyone else. "If you have the guts, shoot me with an arrow and kill both me and my unborn child!" Tao Hua shouted defiantly. "Very well. Farewell," Shen Zaiye calmly replied, waving his hand to give the order. As the arrow whistled past her ear, a cold sensation swept through Tao Hua's body. She realized then that Shen Zaiye had not been joking. He truly intended to kill her. "Your life belongs to me. I can claim it whenever I choose," Shen Zaiye said methodically. His gaze shifted behind her, suddenly turning sharp. "But only I have that right!" This captivating story features a battle of wits between the male and female leads, filled with intense confrontations and passionate conflicts.
