Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

At the same time, the man's gaze also swept over her.

The brocade mattress was dark in color, which made the person on the bed appear even whiter than snow.

Her long, soaked hair was scattered messily on the pillow.

Those almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with a layer of mist, were now wide open, with tears still clinging to the corners of their eyes.

He looked so pitiful.

Her lips were so red and swollen from biting them so badly.

She was curled up at this moment, but unknowingly revealed an even more alluring curve.

He knew she had a slender waist, but what he saw with his own eyes was completely different.

That ridiculous jade Buddha was still hanging on the red string, its emerald green accents against the snow-white, both dazzling and... alluring.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he swept over her body inch by inch.

She was indeed born with a beautiful face that could bewitch people; every feature was perfect.

Fragile and easily broken.

Yet, unintentionally, it exudes a primal, captivating allure.

Especially at this moment, I am clearly terrified.

But she still couldn't help but secretly lift her eyelids, timidly glancing at him, before immediately lowering them again as if startled.

Su Wuli felt completely at a loss, looking directly at the man's gaze fixed on her, since she was currently naked.

But because of his earlier order, she dared not move.

However, the next second, he suddenly moved.

He leaned forward slightly and stretched out one hand.

His knuckles were distinct, and his fingertips had a calloused feel as he brushed against the corners of her wet eyes.

"Afraid of me?" he asked, his voice not loud, but unusually clear in the quiet night.

Su Wuli trembled all over from his touch, not daring to nod or shake her head.

His fingers didn't leave; instead, they gently caressed the corner of her eye.

Then, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and his unfathomable eyes locked onto her flustered and evasive gaze.

A cold, indifferent smile curved at the corners of his lips.

"Then why are you still watching?"

The three words, light and airy, struck Su Wuli like a thunderclap.

She abruptly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently.

Her cheeks and the base of her ears flushed instantly.

The man seemed to stand there for a moment, then heard a faint sound from the side.

Su Wuli kept her eyes closed as she heard the other person's footsteps as they walked back.

Her fingertips unconsciously gripped the brocade mattress beneath her.

After a while, the edge of the bed sank slightly as he sat down.

She gripped her hand even tighter.

A scent of herbs quietly wafted through the air.

Su Wuli's eyelashes trembled, but she dared not open her eyes.

Then, before she could even think about what the other person was going to do...

She felt her warm fingertips touching her, coated with a smooth, cool cream.

Su Wuli suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him in horror.

The body instinctively wanted to escape.

He gently pressed her down with his large hand, the force not strong, but carrying a command.

"Don't move."

The man's voice was flat, and his gaze fell on the wound, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

It was even worse than expected.

He seemed to have...lost his sense of proportion in his actions.

My fingertips were covered in a milky white ointment, which had a refreshing coolness to them.

The application motion was exceptionally stable.

Su Wuli bit her lower lip tightly and cried out in surprise.

Tears welled up uncontrollably, sliding down her cheeks and into her hair.

It wasn't just pain, but also an overwhelming sense of shame.

This was more severe than any previous forced or endured experience.

This time, she was clear-headed and could clearly see the other person.

The light was bright.

What he is doing is something that even his closest friends and family find difficult to talk about.

Su Wuli could clearly see his profile.

The candlelight cast a faint shadow on one side of his high, straight nose; his thin lips were pursed, and his jawline was taut.

His gaze, however, was focused.

Su Wuli gasped in surprise, her nails digging almost into her palms.

The man seemed to notice her extreme tension and paused for a moment.

Then she saw him lift his eyelids and glance at her.

He met her eyes, which were brimming with tears, shame, and pleading.

His lips were bitten so badly they were almost bleeding, and he looked utterly disheveled.

Su Wuli was somewhat disoriented.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Bear with it."

His tone remained calm.

He lowered his eyes again, softening his gaze slightly.

The ointment seemed to have a remarkable effect, not only providing a cooling sensation but also having a slight analgesic effect.

Su Wuli's body, which had been taut to the extreme, tragically relaxed its defenses slightly at this moment.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

It was so quiet you could almost hear the sticky sound of the ointment being applied.

The sound was amplified, striking Su Wuli's eardrums, each thud making her cheeks burn even hotter.

Finally, he picked up a clean white silk handkerchief from the side and wiped his hands.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Su Wuli quickly wrapped herself in a cloth.

She buried her face deep in the pillow, wishing she could disappear immediately.

The pain was no longer burning, but cool and soothing.

The feeling of being helped is more profound than the pain itself.

I heard him get up and the soft sound of him putting the ointment bottle back in its place.

Then, the footsteps stopped beside the bed.

Su Wuli could feel the gazes falling on her, scrutinizing, and perhaps something else.

She dared not move, and even her breathing was extremely soft.

After a long while, I heard his deep voice, devoid of any emotion.

"This medicine is very effective. The redness and swelling should be mostly gone by tomorrow. Be careful not to get it wet."

Su Wuli didn't dare to pretend to be asleep, so she could only close her eyes and nod, "Mmm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man let out a soft snort, and the bed beside him sank slightly again.

Despite being exhausted and feeling drowsy, Su Wuli immediately became alert.

"Look at me and answer." The deep voice fell, carrying an undeniable command.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli had no choice but to slowly open her eyes, her gaze trembling slightly.
