Yuan Ye fell ill with a high fever.

He specifically requested that Jiang Tian serve him.

Jiang Tian's current identity is questionable. If we were to say that she is Yuan Ye's servant, there would be nothing wrong with that.

Jiang Tian came over that night.

Yuan Ye had her eyes closed, and her lips were somewhat pale.

Jiang Tian fetched some water, wet a towel, and placed it on his forehead.

Her movements were as gentle as ever, and her fragrance was as pleasant as ever.

But is she still herself?

Did she ever have genuine feelings for him?

Just as Jiang Tian put the towel down, Yuan Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other.

The next moment, Jiang Tian was pushed down onto the bed by Yuan Ye.

Her eyes widened, and before she could say anything, she saw Yuan Ye's bloodshot eyes.

The two faced off for only a few moments when Yuan Ye seemed to hear a faint sigh.

The next moment, he saw Jiang Tian slowly reach out and unbutton one of his buttons.

Yuan Ye's pupils contracted slightly. Then, he stared straight at her, his eyes flashing, his face as cold as ice, yet his skin burning hot.

Jiang Tian remained calm despite his intense gaze, her eyes lowered and her fingers moving with remarkable dexterity.

One button at a time, they were unbuttoned.

His sturdy physique gradually came into view.

Despite the accumulation of so much resentment, Yuan Ye's body's acceptance of her remained completely intact.

After unbuttoning her clothes, Jiang Tian was about to reach her hand back when Yuan Ye suddenly grabbed it.

He was very strong, but Jiang Tian didn't panic.

Yuan Ye held her hand for a long time, feeling the softness and warmth of her palm.

After letting go of her hand, Yuan Ye leaned towards her cheek again.

He gently pressed his fingertips against her face, from her eyebrows down to her lips, and then suddenly stopped.

After a few breaths, he tightened his fingers.

Jiang Tian's lips slowly turned crimson.

Almost subconsciously, Yuan Ye slowly lowered his head.

However, at the last moment, he seemed to remember something and stopped.

His hand slowly moved, stroking past her ear, and finally landing on her cascading black hair.

He raised his hand and gently pulled out the jade hairpin that was entangled in her black hair.

Black hair spread out.

The night was deep, and only one lamp was still on inside the house.

The curtains had already fallen, and the two of them, in the narrow bed, could not avoid each other's gaze.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, my heart ached so much, yet burned with such passion.

The thin shirt was torn and thrown out, and the other clothes were thrown out one by one as well.

In the blink of an eye, everything was covered in soft white.

He shouldn't have had anything to do with her anymore.

She let go of the past, let go of their history, and embraced a new life. What's wrong with that?

They really can't have any more involvement.

He is the crown prince of a country, while her background is fraught with too many entanglements. Getting involved with her would not be in his interest, nor would it bring him any benefit.

What's more—she's a liar.

Who would share a bed with a liar?

She lied to him once; who can guarantee there won't be a second or a third time?

His mind was incredibly clear, yet his heart burned with intense passion.

He felt as if he had been forcibly split in two; one half was hindering him, preventing him from entering the abyss; the other half controlled his body, making him almost impatient—

It's done.

As if the dust had settled, Yuan Ye closed her eyes and chose to fall into depravity.

He frantically and forcefully seized everything.

Can he escape this beautiful woman who is both enchanting and alluring?

In the early morning, the servants swept and cleaned carefully, and no one dared to knock on the general's door.

"I was carried away last night, but one more time won't make a difference between us. Let's pretend nothing happened last night and go back to your place to rest."

"I've already arranged the carriage. Just let them know when it's convenient for you, and we can set off anytime."

“I also wrote a letter to your uncle. He knows that you have done a great service and cleared his name. He will not sit idly by and do nothing about it.”

"Don't ever appear in front of me again."

Yuan Ye's tone was icy cold as he looked at the curtain.

Not long after, the half-drawn curtain was pulled open by a fair, jade-like hand, revealing the profile of the woman inside.

Yuan Ye sat not far away, with wine glasses on the table. It was unclear when he had woken up, but there were faint bloodshot eyes.

His rugged, handsome face was hidden behind his back, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

Jiang Tian remained silent for a while before gently getting off the bed and picking up her clothes one by one.

Some parts were torn and seemed unwearable, but she didn't seem to care at all.

Yuan Ye didn't look at her again, but poured himself another cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Tian turned her back to him and slowly put on her clothes.

But some clothes are so bad that even buttoning them up doesn't cover anything.

The buttons had long since fallen off and disappeared somewhere.

After tying a few, Jiang Tian stopped.

She paused for a moment, closed her eyes slightly and then opened them again, slowly stood up and began to put on her shoes.

The jade hairpin was also broken, and her hair was draped down to her waist, giving her a languid spring-like appearance, as well as an indescribable sense of freedom.

When she bent over, her fair and smooth neck was dazzling.

She seemed completely unaware. After putting on her shoes, she put on her last outer garment and curtsied to Yuan Ye.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, General."

Yuan Ye held his wine cup, slowly took a sip, and said nothing.

He made a mistake last night, but he still has a chance to repent.

As long as he doesn't see her again, he won't be bewitched by her, and he won't have to suffer every day.
