Sheng Shinian lifted a cross dagger from the silver tray.
The totem carved into the handle, the sharp sword pressed against her chest...
Li Baiyi's heart beat abnormally loud. Madam Li said once Sheng Shinian found out the heart wasn't in her body, he would kill her.
She never believed...
When the truth arrived, her heart ached more than the physical injury, as if she were torn apart!
Sheng Shinian's face was expressionless, as if he were a puppet plunging the dagger downward.
She tremblingly raised a hand, grasping Sheng Shinian's wrist, "Shinian, have you ever loved me..."
Sheng Shinian pulled out the dagger, then stabbed forcefully again.
Li Baiyi convulsed twice, a gush of red spilling from the corner of her mouth.
"I was sincere to you... Shinian... I love you..."
Li Baiyi's long hair fell loose, her eyes wide as she gazed at him, two long tears sliding down from the corner of her eyes.
