I couldn't bear to watch Gu Heng shower Xie Yu with care while treating me with indifference.
The flames of jealousy burned within me, nearly consuming me whole.
Why?
I questioned why, with my looks and talents not inferior to Xie Yu's, Gu Heng was so infatuated with her.
I couldn't swallow this resentment.
I wanted revenge.
I wanted them to taste the piercing pain of being overlooked and neglected, to understand the torment it brought.
A bold plan gradually took shape in my mind: I would set a trap for Gu Heng at his Farewell Banquet and make him mine.
I knew this was wrong, against all morals, and could lead to my ruin.
But I couldn't control myself.
I felt like a mad gambler, willing to risk everything for a chance at Gu Heng, even if it was just for one night.
At the Farewell Banquet, glasses clinked and guests laughed and chatted.
I forced a smile, mingling with them while my heart churned like boiling water, bubbling over with turmoil.
I picked up a cup of tea and approached Gu Heng, pretending to be shy as I offered him a toast.
"Brother Gu Heng, this cup of tea is a toast from Wan'er to you. May you have a smooth journey and return victorious soon."
My voice trembled slightly, carrying an almost imperceptible tension.
Gu Heng showed no suspicion as he took the cup and drank it in one go.
His handsome face wore a gentle smile, completely unaware of the scheme hidden behind my smile.
I watched him consume the spiked tea, a flicker of triumph passing through my mind.
It worked!
Soon, Gu Heng began to feel dizzy and weak all over.
His complexion turned pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Feigning concern, I asked, "Brother Gu Heng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I... I feel dizzy..." Gu Heng's voice was weak and frail.
I pretended to support him and led him back to my chamber.
"Brother Gu Heng, you should rest here for a moment. I'll go fetch a doctor," I said softly.
Gu Heng nodded weakly, allowing me to help him onto the bed.
In the dimly lit room, Gu Heng lay on my bed, his consciousness fading.
He tightly closed his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, as if enduring immense pain.
I gazed at his handsome face, feeling both nervous and excited.
My heart raced wildly, as if it were about to leap out of my chest.
With trembling hands, I wanted to caress his cheek but hesitated, afraid to wake him.
I told myself this was my only chance.
If I missed this opportunity, I might never have another chance to be with him.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly loosened his clothing and leaned closer to his body, feeling the warmth of his breath.
His skin was smooth and delicate, like the finest silk.
As I pressed against him, our bodies close together, I still did not dare to take that final step.
I longed for Xie Yu to break through all of this so that I could naturally marry Gu Heng.
But just then, vivid images flashed before my eyes.
I saw my tragic fate unfold: I married Gu Heng as I wished, but he treated me with cold indifference, viewing me as nothing more than a burden.
I grew increasingly thin and melancholic, ultimately succumbing to illness and ending my miserable life.
In another vision, Gu Heng reluctantly married me but harbored resentment that he could never let go.
We argued constantly, and in a moment of carelessness, I fell into the water, leaving me bedridden and clinging to life.
Xie Yu also passed away due to the circumstances, leaving me isolated and helpless, ultimately dying in desolation, with no one to care.
I opened my eyes in terror, filled with regret and fear.
I almost caused an irreparable tragedy out of a moment of jealousy.
No, I cannot make another mistake.
I cannot ruin my life for a man who does not love me.
"Gu Heng, wake up..." I gently nudged him.
"Mm..." Gu Heng let out a low groan and slowly opened his eyes.
" Wan'er... where am I?" He looked at me in confusion.
"Are you... are you okay?" I asked nervously.
