Guan Xuan fought and killed in the sunless Shadow Pavilion for seven long years, finally becoming Zhao Rongzhang’s sole shadow guard at the age of thirteen.
At that time, Zhao Rongzhang was the most esteemed Princess Yingrong of Great Zhou. As long as she desired it, she could obtain all the finest things in the world.
She wanted a shadow who was the most obedient, the most useful, and would never be known to another soul in the world. And so, the little mute, Guan Xuan—who had bathed the Shadow Pavilion in blood, who was covered in wounds and on the verge of death, yet could not even let out the faintest whimper of pain—came before her.
Afterward, regardless of whether the finest things by her side were lost or regained, through all the ebbs and flows, only the little mute, Guan Xuan, remained the most loyal and silent shadow behind her.
So loyal that when she made him kneel on the bed and lower the curtains, he would only blink his dark, lustrous eyes, lower his head to endure the shame, and obediently do as he was told.
Zhao Rongzhang was fond of toying with his crimson ears, exposed amidst his messy hair, while teaching him with a light laugh, “Like. Do you understand?”
So very nonchalantly.
So nonchalantly, yet Guan Xuan thought in his heart that he must seize back everything that originally belonged to her, one by one.
He must slaughter all those she detested and loathed, all those disgusting maggots and ants, one by one.
He wanted his “like” to be heard by her, loud and clear, even if she one day sat upon the highest throne in the mortal world.
He wanted it so that even if a myriad of sounds arose, they could not drown it out.
Disclaimers:
1.A die-hard BG (Boy-Girl) fan, I only love BG novels.
2.The female lead is no saint. Those with high moral expectations for her should enter with caution.
3.This is not a “powerful female lead” or “strong female protagonist” story. It’s a sweet treat for shipping the CP, with a huge focus on the romance.
4.The male lead’s muteness will be cured later in the story.
