She had never witnessed the prosperity of the Great Chu, nor had she ever enjoyed the conveniences that came with being a princess.
What we now call status and position is nothing more than a puppet, a symbol.
Seemingly high and mighty, she was actually nothing more than a canary kept in their cage.
From the time Mi Linglong could remember, all she had experienced was constant escape and witnessing death. She hated this kind of life.
I thought this miserable, muddy life would continue indefinitely.
Until recently, Mi Linglong received news that those self-proclaimed loyal old men wanted her to marry the head of the Six Burial Hall.
One of them is a notorious assassin organization in the martial arts world.
One is a remnant of the previous dynasty living in the shadows.
Upon closer inspection, the two are indeed a good match.
From that moment on, Mi Linglong understood completely.
To them, I am nothing more than an object that can be exchanged at any time.
Since she had to choose anyway, Mi Linglong would rather choose someone she liked.
She now wants to choose a different way of life, to leave herself a way to survive.
Mu Zi'an was the backup plan she had chosen.
Because Mu Zian gave him enough surprises.
What happened today is the limit of what Mi Linglong could do.
All she had left was her body, and at this moment, Mi Linglong was betting everything on it.
Mu Zian extinguished the candle in the room with one hand.
In an instant, the entire room was plunged into darkness.
What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?
With a ripping sound, a piece of thin gauze fell to the ground.
In the darkness, a pair of delicate hands wrapped around Mu Zi'an's neck, and a soft voice spoke.
"Are the Great Chu's secret archives and its vast intelligence network enough?"
"As long as you can help me seize power, then there will be no secrets in the world for you."
With a snap, the belt fastened to Mu Zian's waist was thrown away by Mi Linglong.
"You want to get something for nothing?"
In the darkness, a burning hot body pressed against Mu Zian's chest.
Mi Linglong said in a muffled voice.
"Isn't the title of Eighth Princess of Great Chu enough?"
"In a sense, the entire intelligence department of the Great Chu is under my command."
With a soft "poof!"
Mi Linglong let out a soft moan.
"Are you also part of the collaboration?"
Mu Zian leaned forward slightly.
The trembling body produced a trembling voice.
"What could be more closely connected than this?"
"I'm willing to bet everything on this one chance."
"I'm betting that you'll never be subservient to anyone, and I'm even betting that you'll sit idly by and wait to die."
Mu Zian's hand rested on Mi Linglong's slender waist.
"Didn't anyone tell you that you can't trust what men say in bed?"
Mi Linglong suddenly turned over, and the two looked at each other in the darkness.
On the candle flame that had just been extinguished in the distance, a drop of glistening wax dripped down the wick.
In the darkness, Mi Linglong reached out a finger to lift Mu Zian's chin, and said through a light bite of her teeth.
"People always have to pay the price for their choices, don't they?"
"Besides, I don't think I made the wrong choice."
"I don't believe that someone who has kept his talents hidden for nearly twenty years would be without any ambition."
