Red brocade curtains, a breathless urgency in the air, making it hot…

Ruan Ning only felt her mouth was unusually heavy, as if a giant stone was pressing down on it.

And this stone is still hot...

Her slender waist was gripped by a searingly hot hand.

Ruan Ning suddenly snapped open her eyelids, only to see a man looking down at her. His eyes were like cold stars, his sword eyebrows slightly furrowed, his nose high and chiseled. He was handsome and dignified.

His broad shoulders, with lines of strength and a powerful aura, struck straight into Ruanning's crown.

Only the patterns on a man's face, which made his otherwise handsome features, added a touch of the strange.

The man's handsome face was getting closer and closer, their breaths mingling together...

Oh well!

This is not the time to admire men!

Ruan Ning quickly regained her composure.

He whispered in his ear, "No, we've all been tricked!"

But the man seemed not to hear, his rough hand reaching down.

Grab the man's wrist.

"...You're poisoned! I have a way!"

The man's consciousness was already hazy, the icy touch of the hand brought a comfortable sigh from him.

He seemed to find it too noisy and lowered his head, blocking...

"Uh..."

Ruan Ning cried without tears, her mother's first kiss!

Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly removed the hairpin from her head and plunged it with force into the man's nape, shoulders, and back… several times.

<<>>

For a moment, the man stiffened.

Ruan Ning bit down hard, a fishy smell instantly filling her mouth.

"Hiss…" The man winced, a sharp, arrow-like glint appearing in his hazy eyes.

"Awake?" Ruan Ning's hairpin was still there, pressing against the main artery on his neck. "You and I are both being used. Why not cooperate?"

The man's corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to flick his wrist.

Whoosh—

The hairpin shot out of her hand, and with a sudden force, it slammed into the bedpost of the Lohan bed. The entire hairpin sank deep within the wood.

Ruan Ning was startled. This man's martial arts skills were so formidable, he couldn't possibly win.

"The 'ghostly lines' on your face are caused by poison. If you don't get treated in time, it will be fatal!"

"I can cure this poison..."

I haven't finished speaking.

His neck was being choked by this crazy man.

"Who are you? A spy? An informant?" The man stared at him, his eyes sharp and unfathomable.

Ruan Ning was dazed for a moment... Who was it?

To make a long story short... It was the descendant of a renowned physician from the Ruan family. Due to a plane crash, he tragically perished in an accident.

...but she ended up traveling to the Western Dynasty, a period that doesn't exist in this historical record, and met with the eldest Miss Ruan of the same name...

Fortunately, before waking up, he inherited the memories of the original owner.

I also recognized the man before me, as he was Qin Yunchuan, the King of Yan with heavy troops in his hands from the Western Dynasty.

He guarded the northern border. Before the emperor's death, he was suddenly summoned back to the capital and ordered to bring no more than a hundred soldiers on his return journey.

On his way back to the capital, he was ambushed and shot with an arrow.

That arrow is poisoned! It's said that the poison, if it hit an ordinary person, they would have died long ago!

He was powerful, even surpassing the poison... Although he didn't die, the poison spread throughout his body, even growing "devilish patterns" on his face.

Therefore, in Kyoto he was known in private as "The King of Ghost Noodles."

All the renowned doctors in Kyoto said this poison had no antidote, and he wouldn't live for long!

Ru Ning looked at her bright red wedding dress, then pointed to the groom's new attire. With difficulty, she made a sound, “Can’t you see? I’m your wife!”

Qin Yunchuan's expression was doubtful, clearly disbelieving.

"So thin and dark...Are you the eldest daughter of the renowned Ruan family from Beijing?"

Ruan Ning was indignant. How could someone be called "Mr. Ginseng"?!

"I am the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, that's right! But I'm not from the capital city. My sister, the second daughter of the Ruan family, is."

Qin Yunchuan narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip.

Ruan Ning only felt suffocated, her vision darkened.

If I don't figure something out, I'm going to die here!
