I tried to open my eyes to see the last scene of my life, it was like a bright light sucking me in,I was dragged in that bright light. The bright light disappeared and only dark silence was remaining, " Am I dead?" I wondered, "is it how it feels to be dead?"But I was able to hear the sounds of birds humming and the rhythm of water flowing... it was so refreshing, "is it heaven?" I wondered, "My lady...?" "My lady...?" "Are you fine?" Those words whispered in my ears, I slowly opened my eyes, and a girl was standing next to me, her face was over me, very close, and she looked so happy, "My lady, you are fine....!!" exclaimed that girl with joy."

Xi Cheng's POV...I was unable to control my anger, I broke so many things around me, but it didn't make me feel better, "that scrap...! how dare she...?I was annoyed when her maid came running to inform me that she opened her eyes, I was in a peak of agony that I would kill her with my own hands, and with that anger, I went to her, When I reached her mansion in the palace, Mother Empress was standing in front of her and questioning her, I went slowly, while Aali ran when she heard the Empress shout to call a doctor, Mother Empress was scolding Aali." you said she is fine, but what is this" I wondered, " Isn't she fine? she seems fine", she was standing in front of her with her head down, staring at her weirdly, with no clumsiness, no humbleness.but she seems different, "Why did she look different?"I went there and she closed her eyes with her hands like an innocent child, I went closer to take a look, and she opened her eyes and glared at me without a blink, she was nev

The way of kissing and the intensity were breathtaking, but I felt suffocating, I could hardly fill my lungs and that made my vision blurry, Getting stimulated....!! my foot....!!It was more like killing me, strangling me to death.Swirling and whirling, I felt like I was laying on a roller coaster, I don't remember anything after that, But when I got my conscience, I feel something crawling on my forehead, my lips passing through my chin then ending up at my neck seeking the way through my neckline, to enter my coastline, but I halted it halfway and opened my eyes suddenly,With my blurry vision, I could see a man laying next to me.Heat coiled up in my belly and my toes curled, my lips parted and instead of feeling fear, I felt attracted to him. His big frame almost fell on me, close enough not to allow any air to pass through,I don't know what was going to happen and what happened to him but the man in front of me was dead quiet, a shiver as icy fingers of dread scraped at the
