The massacre of the Fu family left Fu Shanyue feeling as if she were both alive and dead.
The only thing keeping her alive was revenge, to make the man with the scar on his face pay the price.
But she was really unlucky.
She sank into the lake and was rescued by a brothel madam. At first, she did odd jobs, but later the madam was not satisfied and wanted to squeeze more money out of her.
At the age of sixteen, she was made to work as a prostitute.
Her first customer was a wealthy man nearing fifty. The madam said that as long as she got the money, it didn't matter who she served.
Everyone said that a woman's first time would be heartbreaking, but Fu Shanyue only felt disgusted by the fifty-year-old man wriggling on her body.
No pain could be greater than the pain of watching her loved ones die one by one before her eyes when she was young.
She wanted revenge, and even if she died, she could not rest in peace until she had gotten her revenge.
When she met You Zhengqing, it was a moment of embarrassment for her, as she had displeased her guest during their intimate moments.
She was dragged out of the lobby, barely clothed, by a guest who had been drinking heavily. He punched her repeatedly in the stomach and face.
He kept uttering foul language.
Those around them either treated the scene as a joke or watched it coldly.
The women in the brothel suppressed their panic and did their best to serve their guests, since they had offended them.
Not only would they be severely beaten, but the madam of the brothel would also not let them off the hook.
Fu Shanyue didn't blame them; the world was inherently harsh on women.
She tried to curl her body into a ball. Her body ached, but her mind was already numb. She even silently counted how many times the guest had punched her.
Just when she thought she was about to be beaten half to death, You Zhengqing appeared and ordered his subordinates to save her.
He immediately ordered someone to cut off the guest's hand.
The moment Fu Shanyue looked up and saw You Zhengqing, she knew she had finally met her match.
Her enemy.
She had also doubted her first encounter with You Zhengqing. It was hard to imagine that a man like You Zhengqing, who was navigating the ups and downs of officialdom, would step in to save a lowly courtesan.
Yu Zhengqing only revealed a few words, saying that if his sister were still alive, she would be this age.
Gaining You Zhengqing's trust and staying by his side is not an easy task.
Fu Shanyue had nothing; she didn't have a stunningly beautiful face, she was just a prostitute who sold her body.
In order to gain You Zhengqing's trust, when You Zhengqing was impeached by the Right Chancellor, she volunteered to accompany the Right Chancellor for a night.
It was probably because of her attentive service.
The Right Chancellor was still mindful of You Zhengqing's influence in the court.
Since You Zhengqing offered him a way out, he simply accepted it.
After one night, the Right Chancellor stopped impeaching You Zhengqing.
She was probably bold in her actions and efficient in her work, which quickly earned her You Zhengqing's favor.
But actually, You Zhengqing also needed such a nail.
That day, the small boats on the lake were filled with laughter and joy.
The dancers, dressed in exotic costumes, danced barefoot in the center of the ship.
Fu Shanyue was ordered by You Zhengqing to accompany the Minister of Personnel.
Her task today was to kill the Minister of Personnel while he was in a state of confusion and infatuation.
Who would have thought that when the turmoil broke out, their boat was damaged with several holes.
The ship sank rapidly.
The Minister of Personnel, who was tenderly touching her hand just a moment ago, couldn't wait to push her away and run for his life when danger came.
You Zhengqing was struck by a sword and fell into the lake.
Seeing this, Fu Shanyue also jumped down, not to save You Zhengqing.
Instead, they took this opportunity to kill You Zhengqing.
Ironically, when You Zhengqing saw her figure chasing after him in the lake, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Fu Shanyue approached You Zhengqing.
She was about to pull out the hairpin from her hair and kill the enemy who had killed her entire family cleanly and efficiently.
Just then, You Zhengqing's men arrived to provide support.
Fearing her identity would be exposed, Fu Shanyue abandoned her plan to kill You Zhengqing.
But ever since then.
Fu Shanyue noticed that You Zhengqing's gaze towards her was becoming increasingly complicated.
"Yan Yue, tell me, why did you risk your life to save me that day?" In the study, only You Zhengqing and she remained.
You Zhengqing's eyes were ruthless as he leaned forward slightly.
Fu Shanyue felt that even breathing was wrong in front of him.
“Your Majesty, you have been kind to me and are my master. For both public and private reasons, I should go through fire and water for you.”
"She speaks eloquently." You Zhengqing became curious about this woman. Other women approached him usually for wealth, power, and status.
But this woman seemed shrouded in an unfathomable mist, making people want to explore her.
“This is not just polite talk.” Fu Shanyue knelt on the ground: “You are Yan Yue’s master. Only when you are well can Yan Yue’s life be good.”
That was the first time You Zhengqing kissed her.
Fu Shanyue thought she would feel disgusted, but instead of feeling nauseous, she felt anticipation and happiness.
It seems we're about to see a glimmer of hope for revenge.
You Zhengqing initially wanted to redeem her from her servitude, but she resolutely refused.
Playing hard to get and keeping a distance is a trick men always fall for.
Fu Shanyue watched coldly as You Zhengqing gradually fell into the trap she had carefully set.
Through You Zhengqing.
She discovered that the culprit behind the massacre of the Fu family was the Fifth Prince.
In order to make things difficult for You Zhengqing and the Fifth Prince.
Once Fu Shanyue realized that You Zhengqing loved her, she chose to set her sights on the Fifth Prince.
