Chapter 1: The Mysterious Prince

The sun was setting, and the clouds were dancing in the sky. A man in a black silk robe stood on the towering wall like a deity. The wind lifted his dark hair, and his dazzling aura outshone the world.

His meticulously carved face had long eyebrows that reached his temples, and his deep black eyes exuded a strong sense of killing intent. His crimson lips, pale from the effects of poison, added to his enigmatic allure.

Despite being poisoned, he stood there like a god, exuding an aura of arrogance and dominance with every move. However, his body was getting hotter, and blood began to seep from his lips, staining them a deep red, like bloodied cherry blossoms.

If he didn't detoxify soon, he would die here.

In a moment, he saw a footman carrying a woman into a room below. The woman's face was covered by her hair, and she seemed unable to move or speak, clearly having been acupunctured.

A wild and alluring smirk flashed in the man's deep phoenix eyes. Swiftly, he put on a silver mask and silently entered the room like a gust of wind.

With a swift strike, the footman was knocked unconscious. The man cast a cold glance at him and kicked him under the bed.

When Luo Yunzhu woke up, she found herself acupunctured and lying on the bed. Then, a man with a mask, exuding a chilling and murderous aura, was already on top of her.

Although the man wore a mask, he exuded the noble and dignified air of an emperor. His eyes, visible beneath the mask, were cold, proud, and unfathomable. Luo Yunzhu stared at him with resentment, unable to move.

"Detoxify me, and don't worry, I will take responsibility for you," the man said coldly in her ear.

The pain from the depths of her heart made Luo Yunzhu's heart ache. Although her body was in excruciating pain, she could only stare at him helplessly.

Her face was covered by her hair, and she could only see a pair of captivating eyes under the man's mask, as beautiful as cherry blossoms in March.

The pain in her body was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. She was filled with questions. Where was she?

Just a few minutes ago, she was performing a highly difficult surgery with her subordinates. As the surgery was about to be completed, the patient's family, thinking they had killed the person, rushed in and stabbed her in the heart.

She, a medical genius who could bring the dead back to life, had fallen at the hands of an ignorant and vulgar patient's family.

Then, when she woke up, she found this masked man on top of her.

Suddenly, a series of memories flew into her mind like snowflakes. It seemed that she had crossed over!

The original owner of this body was named Shangguan Liuyue, the most weak and useless legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion and a prestigious medical family. She was also the unmarried fiancée of the current crown prince.

Today, the crown prince was holding a flower appreciation banquet in the Luliyuan. Liuyue, who admired the crown prince, had come carefully to see him. Unexpectedly, an hour ago, she was acupunctured and placed in the room, and then a footman with a face full of pockmarks came in and bullied her!

Seeing the pockmarks, she was so frightened and scared that she was scared to death. Then, Luo Yunzhu's soul occupied this body. When she opened her eyes, the footman had been kicked under the bed, and he had been replaced by this man.

So, was she being bullied now? Bullied by a man wearing a mask, whose face she couldn't see.

She couldn't see his face, only a pair of extremely captivating eyes, like cherry blossoms in March!

Luo Yunzhu hated it and wanted to punch him, but she couldn't move, so she had to let him take her to hell.

Luo Yunzhu quickly accepted the memories of the original owner. No, she was not Luo Yunzhu now, but Shangguan Liuyue, the most despised waste of the Shangguan family.

At that moment, urgent footsteps were heard in the distance.

A strong sense of killing intent flashed in the man's eyes. He looked outside with a cold and ruthless gaze, then quickly got up, put on his robe with a graceful and elegant movement, and left the room in a flash.

Suddenly, he looked coldly at Liuyue on the bed, took a sparkling golden ruby ring off his slender jade finger, and threw it onto her. "This is my token of love. Wait for me. I will marry you."

At this moment, the footsteps outside grew louder. The man's eyes were sharp as he swiftly got up, put on his robe, and left the room. Before leaving, he released Liuyue's acupoints.

As he was about to leave, he glanced at Liuyue, and the dangerous, cold, and ruthless eyes under the mask were indistinct. Due to his recent poisoning and unclear consciousness, his eyes were half-closed, and everything in front of him was blurry. He couldn't see her face clearly, but he vaguely remembered a plum blossom birthmark on her lower abdomen.

At that moment, there was a sudden urgent sound of footsteps outside, with two maidservants speaking in a cold tone.

"How is it? Did that footman take care of that stinky girl?"

"She must have taken care of it a long time ago. This sickly and weak girl has been clinging onto the position of the Crown Princess despite her frailty and incompetence. The Crown Prince has long wanted to get rid of her, but she shamelessly refuses to divorce him, using the excuse of being married by the emperor. As a result, the Crown Prince is forced to marry a useless waste, and he can't stand her. Now, she dares to come to the Luminous Garden and embarrass herself. This is the perfect opportunity for the Crown Prince to ruin her and find an excuse to call off the marriage."

"Yes, she was deflowered by Wang Er, so she definitely doesn't have the virgin's blood on her arm. This gives the Crown Prince a reason to divorce her. Lüluo, go in and check if she still has the virgin's blood on her arm."

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Liuyue realized that she could move. She quickly tucked the ruby ring into her pocket and pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed.

Through a small opening in her eyes, Liuyue saw Lüluo, the maid, walking towards her with a cold expression and rudely rolling up her sleeve to inspect her arm.

After the inspection, Lüluo's face revealed a triumphant and sinister smile, and she quickly left, closing the door behind her.

Outside the door, she said to another maid, "The virgin's blood is gone, but Wang Er is not here. He probably ran away. We need to catch him and bring him in to testify against this wretched girl."
