Yet, no sound escaped her lips, and there was no trace of blood on her chest as she collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.

Zhong Mingyu's hand bore a hint of blood, the still-beating heart within her grasp.

She glanced at her reflection in the mirror, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she remarked, "A woman's heart is delicate and delectable."

A handmaiden emerged from behind the curtain, casting a glance at the lifeless body of the maid on the floor before speaking, "Once you are married, you cannot indulge in such impromptu feasting."

Zhong Mingyu sighed, "Indeed, it is a dilemma."
