A man who always carries a gleaming sword, known for his unyielding harshness, falling in love with a common servant—isn't that a contradiction?

Xian Bao, the emperor of a vast nation, regards the lives of countless people as insignificant. Anyone who dares to disobey or displease him in the slightest faces severe consequences. No one dared to call him by his name for fear of making an unnecessary mistake.

Servants who make even minor mistakes have often faced his strict punishments. However, only a lowly female servant was spared by him and allowed to live until now. It seems that only you understand his intentions, or more precisely, perhaps his heart has been softened by you. You are probably the only one who can make him feel the kindness, a feeling that he thought he had lost forever. That was why he couldn't leave you even for a single moment.

When traitors realized that you were his greatest vulnerability, they seized the opportunity to use you as leverage against him. When he learned you were in danger, his heart skipped a beat. Even though he is a stern man, he cannot ignore the prospect of you being harmed. Even though he knew this was a trap, he had no other choice.

In the quiet night, he stood tall above the traitors, his eyes sharp and relentless. His voice was low, but each word carried a chilling finality.

"If a single strand of her hair is harmed, I will not forgive you"
