All of it happened too suddenly.
The tender woman broke free from Qin Wu's grasp and ran towards the large fire at the back mountain without looking back!
Everyone's ears were bursting with the Empress's command, "Stop her!"
But it was too late.
The woman ran into the flames, and in plain sight of everyone, she struggled fiercely, becoming a human torch amidst her hoarse screams, until she finally fell... never to rise again.
"To choose such a way to die by self-immolation..." Qin Wu covered her face, unable to suppress her sobs, as tears constantly fell from her eyes.
No one had imagined that this woman could be so resolute; after suffering in silence for so many years, vindicated at last, she resolutely sought death, going to join her husband in the world below.
And the mastermind behind it all was none other than this insatiable Lin Pingzhi!
