It was all just a dream, and in the end, it was all for naught!
Gu Chuzhi gave a desolate, bitter smile. He knew he had been tricked!
His desperate attempt to fight to the death did not bring him a fleeting dream.
"Who are you?" he glared at the bride, unaware of where his plan, which he had meticulously devised for months and thought was flawless, had gone wrong.
The bride slowly peeled off the human skin mask from her face, revealing her true appearance.
An Piao'er's fierce aura faded, and she smiled gently, whispering, "Chuzhi, that's me."
A seemingly harmless woman, her smile as beautiful as when we first met, yet she speaks the most hurtful words in the gentlest tone.
“It was me.” An Piao’er spoke with utmost gentleness, as if she wasn’t the one who had just angrily stabbed Gu Chuzhi in the chest with a dagger.
Gu Chuzhi was so shocked that he was speechless. In the past few years, An Piao'er had been incredibly gentle and obedient, doing everything she could to please him. He had let his guard down and never expected that the person who would betray him would be An Piao'er.
An Piao'er walked to the bedside and poured a cup of tea for Gu Chuzhi.
Her eyes were gentle as she bent down and said, "Chuzhi, you've lost so much blood, have some tea to calm your nerves."
This cup of tea has a familiar aroma; it's the same tea that Gu Chuzhi has been drinking for the past two years.
Gu Chuzhi suddenly realized what was happening, and he excitedly knocked over his teacup: "It was you. It was you again. You poisoned my tea, which is why my body has been weakening little by little."
It's chilling to think about it. It turns out that this conspiracy was already in the works two years ago, when Gu Chuzhi was toying with An Piao'er's feelings.
An Piao'er didn't hesitate and readily admitted, "You guessed right, it was all me."
An Piao'er was adept at gaining people's trust through her gentleness and vulnerability.
The tea was spilled, and An Piao'er, who had been acting for several years, was also tired.
She pulled out another dagger and walked towards Gu Chuzhi: "Gu Chuzhi, you shouldn't have betrayed me. You said if you had married me and loved me from the beginning, none of this would have happened. But you actually fell in love with An Yuan'er, the person I hate most in my life. From childhood to adulthood, An Yuan'er has always been one step ahead of me. I always thought that, at least in terms of marriage, I could have a husband who cherishes and pities me, like an ordinary woman. He could give me wealth and glory, and everything I lacked in the An family. But..."
“Until I met you, I thought you, Gu Chuzhi, were my soulmate. But what did I get in return? My deep affection was misplaced, and all I got in return was your heartless mockery. You deserve to die, even a thousand or ten thousand times wouldn't be enough.”
In the end, An Piao'er spoke each word through gritted teeth, her hatred seeping from the depths of her bones.
When you love someone intensely, the hatred that transforms into it only intensifies, completely destroying your rationality. An Piao'er is going all in; today, she's determined to take Gu Chuzhi's life.
With his injured body, Gu Chuzhi used his last bit of strength to dodge the dagger that An Piao'er was thrusting at him.
Blood was everywhere, leaving a long trail of blood.
An Piao'er laughed maniacally: "The tea you've been drinking for the past two years has been infused with the Five Poisons Powder. Your body is already extremely weak. Gu Chuzhi, how many more attacks can you dodge?"
The two attacked while the other dodged, and Gu Chuzhi's breathing grew heavier and heavier; he could no longer dodge.
"Go to hell!"
Gu Chuzhi closed his eyes and awaited death, but he felt no pain. At the last moment, a figure rushed towards him, disregarding everything.
