"Agggh... you bitch, how dare you kick my treasure?" Said the man.

The Lord hummed. The moment she could steadily stand, the Lord let go of her.
When we got upstairs, we looked one way, then the other. We decided to make a run for it. We ran to the front door of the castle-mansion into some brush and stayed there.
how and who would have the ability to massacre such a large amount of people without them knowing? they didn't see any soldiers came in or out the city neither have they heard any gossips about it at all yet... someone or something was able to do it all cleany.
The atmosphere in these chapters is absolutely devastating. Let me start with the hunt scene—the sheer spectacle of it. A thousand chariots thundering, ten thousand horsemen, the Imperial Guard in iron armor surging like a tide, banners fluttering, canopies like clouds. Commoners lining the streets, palace maids scattering copper coins and osmanthus blossoms, children scrambling to gather them. It's so vivid, so cinematic. You can practically hear the hooves and smell the autumn air. But then—bam. Assassins. Blood. And the scene shifts from this grand, almost fairy-tale imperial hunt to something much darker and more intimate. The tent scene is where the author really shines. 'The tent blazed with lantern light, with imperial physicians bustling in and out, and medicine attendants carrying out bowls of water stained red with blood.' The smell. The thick, overwhelming smell of blood. Jiang Nong noticing the dried, black-red patches on Chao Ning's clothes and realizing—how much blood could one person have? And then Yu Lingxin himself, lying there: 'his breathing faint, his hair covering half his face. Linen bandages were tightly bound across his chest; layer after layer of hemostatic powder had been applied, yet blood still seeped through the wound.' The detail about the blood being hot is so visceral. 'How much blood could one person have?' Jiang Nong thinks, and then 'it truly burned, and her heart burned with it.' The contrast between the earlier scene—wind blocking, small smiles, the gentle moment where Yu Lingxin shifts to shield her from the breeze—and this bloody, desperate scene is brutal. One moment he's being quietly tender, the next he's dying for someone else's benefit. And that ending with the century-old blood ginseng... 'A century-old blood ginseng can save even a woman hemorrhaging during childbirth—it might also save Prince Xin's life.' The physician says it with such clinical detachment, but the stakes are enormous. The Empress Dowager has one, but will she give it? Emperor Zhengyuan clearly doesn't think Yu Lingxin is worth it—that's why he offered gold and horses instead. The political calculus of a human life, reduced to currency. It's chilling and perfect.
You are the light in my darkest life.
Based on what Lanruo and Lee had told her in the past when she made the bet this was caused by the Manual...
