Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

The night was as dark as ink, shrouding everything in silence.

Zhenbeicheng, West District.

Deep in an inconspicuous alley, a small ebony sedan chair glided like a fish into a secluded courtyard at the end of the alley, landing silently.

Several men in black dispersed like ghosts, disappearing into the darkness. One of them stepped forward and gently lifted the sedan curtain.

A bare, jade-like foot emerged first, the gold ring on the ankle gleaming faintly in the moonlight.

Then, the fiery red figure stepped out of the sedan chair; it was none other than the "fairy" who had stirred up the entire city and was revered as a deity by the people.

Without pausing for a moment, the fairy flashed and pushed open the door to enter a side room in the courtyard.

The door creaked open and then quickly closed again.

There were no lights in the room, only moonlight filtering through the window paper, casting a hazy glow.

The fairy's back pressed firmly against the cold door, her heart still pounding uncontrollably in her chest.

Thump, thump, thump—the impact made her eardrums ache.

She pressed her ear against the door, listening intently.

Only after confirming that there was no movement outside did his tense body finally relax.

She raised her slender fingers and, with a slight tremor, removed the red veil from her face.

The veil fell away, and in the moonlight, Bai Zhi's face was revealed.

Fine beads of sweat still clung to the tip of her nose and the corners of her forehead; the desperate escape had almost exhausted all her strength.

Her long eyelashes hung down, wet, and her full, snow-white breasts rose and fell violently with her rapid breathing.

That was close.

That was a close call.

Bai Zhi patted her chest, forcing herself to calm down.

The chases over the past few days have been increasingly thrilling, and she has struggled to keep up.

Bai Zhi walked to the table and fumbled to light the candle.

As the dim light shone, she poured herself a glass of cold tea and gulped it down.

The cool tea slid down her dry, burning throat, and the coolness finally calmed the surging heat and palpitations in her heart.

call--

Bai Zhi let out a long breath, her heartbeat calming down slightly.

She closed her eyes, and the image of that late night a few days ago involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Lin Mo found her and revealed the utterly absurd plan to her.

She infiltrated Zhenbei City, disguised herself as a fairy, and lured tens of thousands of people from the East Market out by scattering money in an unbelievable way.

Her first reaction was to shake her head.

No, she can't do it.

She was just Bai Zhi, an ordinary woman who only wanted to live a peaceful life with her daughter.

She could disguise herself as an ugly woman to survive in the marketplace.

Could she possibly play the role of a fairy who saves all living beings in front of tens of thousands of people?

That's harder than killing her.

But when she was about to refuse, Lin Mo just stared at her and spoke slowly, word by word.

"My wife, only you can do this. I believe in you."

That simple sentence was like a warm current, instantly melting away all the unease and hesitation in her heart.

It wasn't just to repay Lin Mo for saving Nannan's life.

More importantly... she wanted to be the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Instead of forever hiding behind him, like a dodder vine being protected by him.

So she agreed.

At first, everything went smoothly as planned.

The traps set up by the shadow guards in advance, coupled with her unparalleled dance, quickly spread the legend of "the fairy's blessing" throughout the city.

Every day at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the town north is deserted as everyone flocks to the south square.

The plan went incredibly smoothly.

Until two days ago, the officers and soldiers began to appear.

Instead of maintaining order, they were keeping watch in the crowd and launching a relentless manhunt after she left.

Fortunately, the shadow guards were all highly skilled and could always use the complex streets and alleys to shake them off.

But Bai Zhi knew that danger was approaching step by step.

and……

Now an even more serious problem lies before her.

Bai Zhi calmed her breathing and walked to the corner of the room. There, five huge wooden crates were placed side by side.

She walked over and opened the lids of the boxes one by one.

The first bite was empty.

The second bite was empty.

The third and fourth bites were still empty.

Only in the fifth box were less than half of the copper coins left.

These copper coins were all the funds Lin Mo had given her back then.

This is all the money Lin Mo gave her.

Based on the rate of consumption over the past few days, what's left can only last for one more day at most.

"well……"

Bai Zhi sighed softly, a layer of worry settling between her brows.

That man entrusted her with such an important task; she absolutely couldn't mess it up.

But... what should we do?

Lin Mo... when are you guys finally arriving...?

If the plan is interrupted, not only will all the efforts of the past few days be wasted, but...

What kind of anger will the people, whose appetites have been whetted, unleash after discovering they've been tricked?

How will she and her shadow guards escape?

Just as Bai Zhi was feeling troubled—

"Squeak—"

A soft scraping sound of wood suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

In the dead of night, the sound was amplified countless times, becoming jarringly clear!

Bai Zhi's heart tightened suddenly, and the hairs on her body stood on end instantly!

Someone's come in!?

How is that possible!

The guards were outside the courtyard, ready to alert the guards at the slightest sign of trouble.

But now, it's completely silent outside.

Is it...

She held her breath, barefoot, and tiptoed to the door, carefully pushing it open a crack.

The courtyard under the moonlight was empty and deserted, with stone tables and benches, flowers and trees, everything as usual.

The gate to the courtyard was also tightly closed, and there were no signs of any intrusion.

Did I mishear?

The sound of the wind?

Bai Zhi was puzzled and was about to close the door.

suddenly!

A strong masculine aura suddenly pressed down from behind!

She didn't even have time to turn around.

A pair of large, burning hot hands had already wrapped tightly around her slender waist with lightning speed!

"ah!"

Bai Zhi cried out in surprise, lost her balance, and crashed heavily into a solid chest.

His chest was as hard as an iron plate, and the impact made her nose sting.

But her survival instinct left her no time to think; with a flick of her wrist, a thin, willow-leaf-shaped dagger slid from her sleeve into her palm.

Without thinking, she gripped the knife in her hand and stabbed the person behind her with all her might!

However, while her wrist was still in mid-air, it was firmly gripped by a large hand and could not move an inch further!

That irresistible force instantly paralyzed her entire arm.

It’s over.

Bai Zhi's heart sank to the bottom.

However, just when she was in utter despair,

A soft, languid laugh, so familiar it made her want to cry, rang close to her ear.

"My wife, are you trying to murder your husband?"
