How Could Anyone Resist When Her Beauty Cuts Like a Blade
105 parts Ongoing When Mi Wu returned from the countryside to the Marquis's residence, everyone mocked her. They said she was shameless, too seductive, unfit for the palace, and destined for failure.
But she was chosen. Very soon she became the emperor's closest companion, the woman he could not leave for even a night.
They laughed that she had no title, that she was nothing but a passing toy. Surely he would grow tired of her.
Yet the emperor's desire only deepened. Even the sixth prince Cui Shu, the most trusted of all, was expelled for daring to cross her.
When Cui Shu later seized the throne, the world was certain Mi Wu's end had come.
But one decree shattered every doubt. Cui Shu named her empress. The court was left stunned, unable to speak.
---
The first time Cui Shu saw her, she was punishing servants-wild, defiant, untamed.
The second time, she danced under the moon-soft, dazzling, almost unreal.
The third time, she rested on his lap-pitiful, tender, begging for care.
Mi Wu was temptation itself, beauty laced with danger.
Cui Shu knew her heart held schemes, yet he was drawn closer, consumed by her. He vowed to make her his, but after she used him, she turned away and became the emperor's favorite instead.
Her beauty was no longer a gift. It became knives, piercing deeper and deeper into Cui Shu's heart.
