Nanqianyue, dressed in a hibiscus-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), sat in the main hall. After removing her veil, her stunning beauty, aloof expression, and noble aura made it impossible to look away.
The people inside the venue, and even those on the viewing platform upstairs, felt as if she were the priceless exhibit that would be the grand finale of the day.

"Are you injured?" Nan Qianyue glanced at his pale lips.
Xie Yanzhou looked into her concerned eyes, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, "Yes, it hurts a lot, Qianqian, please save me one more time, okay?"
