Quills: the Rise of the Northern Matriarch - Chapter 26: Two Cycles Later (5)

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for.A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night.She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage.A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception?--“Are you upset?”She eyed him sharply. “Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?”He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table.He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down.The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape.When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine.“How shall I make it up to you then?” he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling.

12 years ago, it was the beginning of his catastrophic life.

Just because of the Wang family’s selfishness in wanting to possess his family’s land, Baichen’s beloved parents were murdered in cold blood. And he himself was framed for a crime that jailed him for 200 years.

The fury building up inside him was enough for him to do anything to bring justice to himself and his family.

Finally, a chance to revenge came to him when he received the “Life Changing System” which allowed him to turn back time and fix everything before it happened.

He needed to complete various missions without knowing what he had to encounter in order to gain skills that helped him survive and revenge on the family who had destroyed his family and made him suffer!

“This time I won’t let anyone tear my family apart again. I’m going to kill Wang Chengye. I’m going to destroy the whole Wang family. My parents are going to live lives of happiness. I swear it!”
