The plan went even more smoothly than expected, almost unbelievably so.
Overwhelmed by his success, Gu Chuzhi didn't think things through and impatiently carried "An Yuan'er" into the room.
As Yan Cuizhen watched his departing figure, her eyes betrayed her disappointment and bitterness.
The master didn't even glance at her, yet he praised her entirely because of another woman.
She rubbed her head. The plan was going smoothly, so why did she feel dizzy and confused? Could there have been some unexpected event that she didn't know about?
She was about to rush in and discuss things with Gu Chuzhi when she heard a "bang" as Gu Chuzhi slammed the door shut, refusing her entry.
Yan Cuizhen smiled bitterly. Her master had finally gotten what he wanted, and now he probably wouldn't want to talk to her anymore.
She left somewhat dejectedly.

Gu Chuzhi carried "An Yuan'er" into the side room. This temple was a hidden world. It seemed to be filled with Buddha statues on the outside, but there was a mechanism behind the Buddha statues. Pushing the mechanism open revealed a hidden secret room.
Gu Chuzhi gently placed the bride he had snatched onto the bed. The room was lit with red wedding candles, and the bed was covered with dried fruit, symbolizing good fortune, happiness, and the early birth of a son.
As the red candles flickered, Gu Chuzhi's expression was more tender than ever before. He gently stroked the girl's face, his large hand lingering on her skin.
Gu Chuzhi sighed, "My dear Yuan'er, even after two lifetimes, you can only ever be my bride, Gu Chuzhi's bride."
Gu Chuzhi had feelings of love and resentment towards An Yuan'er, but over the years, it turned into an obsession.
He was obsessed with possessing the girl and making her his own. Everything beautiful was something Gu Chuzhi wanted to tear apart and destroy.
In the quiet room, the sound of clothes being removed could be heard. To avoid any unforeseen complications, Gu Chuzhi's hand reached for "An Yuan'er's" clothes.
With a "whoosh".
A sudden gust of cold wind entered the dark room and extinguished the red candles inside.
The dark room became pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. An eerie atmosphere pervaded the room, making it quite sinister.
The bride, who was lying in bed fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and revealed a strange smile in the darkness.
"hehe."
An Yuan'er grabbed Gu Chuzhi's hand.
Gu Chuzhi felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet. The dark room was airtight, but everything about it now seemed eerie.
He shouted in a panic, "Who is it? Who is it?"
Before Gu Chuzhi could figure it out, a flash of silver light appeared, and a sharp dagger pierced straight into Gu Chuzhi's chest with incredible speed.
The person who did the deed was the bride, whom Gu Chuzhi thought was still unconscious.
Gu Chuzhi was already weak, and when the dagger pierced his chest, he couldn't help but vomit mouthfuls of blood.
The bright red blood was quickly submerged by the red cloak, adding an eerie touch of vibrant color to the dark room.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief. The bride on the bed had bloodshot eyes, filled with hatred, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.
Although she had the same face as An Yuan'er, An Yuan'er had never felt such strong hatred for Gu Chuzhi because she had no love for him. Gu Chuzhi finally realized that the bridal sedan chair he had abducted and the bride he had abducted were not An Yuan'er, the one he had been longing for.
His heart, which had been soaring high, plummeted into an endless hell. Gu Chuzhi felt the air constantly seeping out of his body, and his body grew colder and colder.
