Within the Su Mansion.

The whole place brimmed with joyous excitement.

Today, Su Bei, the daughter of the Su family head, was at last tying the knot with her cherished fiancé, Du Luo.

Her reflection in the mirror displayed exquisitely sculpted features, akin to a divine artwork sketched upon flawless canvas.

A strapless bridal gown accentuated her collarbones, rendering them strikingly prominent.

The precisely fitted wedding dress clung to her lithe form. Its lovely floor-length frills lent an added feminine charm to the 18-year-old Su Bei.

In S Country, the marriageable age stood at eighteen. Right after turning eighteen, Su Bei chose to wed Du Luo, the man she had adored for years.

Even after heavy drinking during her bridal shower the night before, she rose early to prepare.

Dawn crept in, the outer sky gradually brightening as the sun ascended leisurely from the east.

“Miss Bei, preparations are all set. It's early still. Why not take a short rest? We'll return for your makeup in two hours,” the attendant assisting with her attire suggested with a warm smile.

“Okay.” Su Bei glanced at the shadows beneath her eyes in the mirror and nodded.

She remained somewhat dizzy from last night's overindulgence, so she lifted the glass from the table and took two sips of water.

Once the staff departed, a servant entered carrying a pot of bird’s nest soup and placed it before Su Bei.

Su Bei ladled the soup into a small bowl and swallowed two gulps. Likely due to the excess wine from the previous night, a bitterness lingered on her tongue tip, making the soup taste odd.

After consuming the small bowl of soup, she ate nothing further. Instead, she settled onto the sofa and shut her eyes.

Moments later, her room door eased open softly, and a figure slipped inside silently.

Su Bei hadn't dozed off. She cracked her eyes secretly for a peek and discovered the intruder was her half-sister, Su Huixian.

Her stepmother had wrecked her parents' marriage, breeding Su Bei's deep contempt for both her and Su Huixian. Never inclined to bond with them, she puzzled over Su Huixian's presence now.

Su Huixian cast a swift look at the emptied bowl. A malicious smirk curled her lips as she leaned down toward Su Bei. “Su Bei, do you truly believe you can wed Du Luo? I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family head. You'll never uncover the secret in that bird’s nest soup. But I'll ensure you savor your wedding night ahead of time.”

She pulled out her phone and made a call. “Are the two bodyguards I specially arranged for Su Bei prepared? Have them come here immediately.”

Su Bei's eyes widened in horror at Su Huixian's words. She was aware Su Huixian harbored dislike for her, yet never imagined such ruthless cruelty.

Su Huixian clearly intended to drug her and arrange for her violation. What a heartless fiend!

Su Bei rose to her feet with a cold sneer. Alerted by the noise, Su Huixian whirled around. Confronted by Su Bei looming before her, she stumbled back. “You... you're not asleep?”

“Su Huixian, it must've been exhausting faking as the dutiful Su family daughter all this time. Does dropping the pretense feel good now?” Su Bei taunted, her icy gaze laced with derision.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Su Huixian's complexion drained to ashen pallor. Panic from exposure drove her nails into her palms; she couldn't face Su Bei's stare.

Su Bei clamped onto Su Huixian's wrist. Towering over her half-sister, she sealed off any escape route.
