Mei Wanying was once again certain that the Useless Crown Prince was a madman who would stop at nothing.
'To get what he wanted, he would stoop to any dirty trick, even... disregarding human life.'
Mei Wanying felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being stalked by a viper from the gutters.
'If she had no other choice, she would rather die than submit to that monster.'
'But what would happen to her mother and daughter?'
