"Nánxīng, are you alright? Zhàn Jiā's people have arrived to pick you up."

Jiang Yaxing's voice came from outside. Nanshin stared at herself in the mirror, satisfied, and went to open the door: "Mom, I'm done."

Jiang Yaxing looked at the child before her, his skin yellowed and black, his eyes lifeless and his appearance hideous. She exclaimed, "Who are you? Where is Nán Xīng?"

"Mom, it's me, Nanxing!" Nanxing spun around in front of her. "The fact that even you don't recognize me gives me peace of mind. Zhan Qinge wouldn't dare to speak up about my face."

"You..."

As soon as Jiang Yaxing spoke, Nan Xing interrupted her: “Didn’t it say that Zhan Qingyuan brutally killed two wives over there? I'm so ugly, he definitely wouldn't be interested in me.”

Jiang YAQING's eyes were a little strange: "Really?"

Nánxīng thought that Jiāng Yáqíng was still not at ease, and spoke to reassure her: “Don’t worry, I will protect myself well.”

There's been a disaster at home, my father is facing imprisonment. Only the powerful War family is willing to lend a hand, but the condition is that I marry their cruel and domineering third master, War QIngyuan.

Father and mother are loving, and my little sister is also kind. For the sake of family, I am willing to go through fire and water.

Jiang YAQing sighed and said nothing more, only saying, "Let's go."

The mother and daughter went downstairs together. The hall and courtyard were packed with people, all from the Zhan family who had come to pick up Nánxīng.

The Zhan family truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier family in high society. They sure know how to throw a lavish party.

……

Warlord Zhan Qiyuan had sent someone to inform the family early on that he would not be holding a wedding.

So, Nánxīng was directly taken to Zhàn Qíngyuān's house.

"Madam, please get out of the car."

The bodyguard opened the car door and stood respectfully to one side.

Nánxīng had heard before that Zhàn Qíngyuēn lived in the lakeside villa.

As the car stopped, and I looked at the luxurious villas surrounding me on all sides, resembling palaces, I couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Madam, I am Tang De, the butler. Master has asked me to take you to see him. Please follow me." A middle-aged man in a tailored suit came before Nán Xīng, his voice warm and respectful.

When he saw Nan Xing's face, his expression faltered.

"Excuse me, Mr. Tang," Nanxing replied politely.

Nán Xīng was brought into the villa by the butler. After a winding path, they finally stopped in front of a room.

Tang Guanjia knocked on the door and said, "Master, madam has arrived."

"Come in." After a moment, a man's voice came from inside.

Then Tang Guanjia pushed open the door and stood aside: "Madam, please come in."

As soon as Nán Xīng stepped inside, she saw the man reclining on the sofa.

The man had a long, loose suit on. He held a glass of red wine in his hand, and three buttons on his black dress shirt were undone at the collar, revealing a small patch of solid, fair skin. He was irresistible...

His face was undeniably handsome, but his long and narrow eyes seemed to hold a hidden blade, sharp and piercing, that sent chills down your spine.

He just sat there quietly, yet radiated a stifling aura of pressure.

Is he the Warring Sky?

Nánxīng had only heard that Zhàn Qīngyuān was cruel and ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome...

"You're the one who would marry me even if it meant courting death..." Zhan Qingen seemed unable to remember her name, glanced at her once, then added three words: "Monster."

Nánxīng was startled: "What do you mean?"

Every word he said I could understand individually, but when put together into a sentence, I couldn't make sense of it.

Why would she even consider marrying him, even if it meant risking her life?

"Putting on a show?" Zhan Qingen chuckled, not really paying attention. "I've met many scheming people, but someone like you with the audacity to play tricks? This is my first time."

"See."

If it weren't for the sarcasm being so blatant, one would almost think he was praising Nanshin.

Nán xīng frowned: "What do you mean?"

Zhan Qinyuan's smile vanished: "Since you're so stubborn, then just calm down."

Before Nánxīng could react, a bodyguard came over and dragged her to the window.

"What are you doing!" Nánxīng reacted and realized Zhàn Qīngyuān wanted to throw her away, and started struggling.

Then Tang Guanjia's worried voice came, "Master, there are crocodiles in the lake..."
