Chapter 1

In the dead of night, inside the spacious tent, a figure knelt silently before the bed, where a naked man lay, but he did not even glance at the woman before him.

"Clean yourself again!" After a long while, the man on the bed spoke coldly, his voice devoid of any warmth.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ruyan did not utter a word. She silently got up, feeling a piercing pain in her knees, but she did not hesitate. She endured the pain and walked into the bathing room behind the curtain.

From a distance, through the tent, faint cries of despair could be heard, the cries of a girl who was unwilling to endure the torment. Yu Ruyan's blood instantly froze, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The towel in her hand slipped and fell into the water, sinking to the bottom...

The girls crying were all the maids who had accompanied her on this long journey to a foreign land. At this moment, they were suffering inhuman torture and humiliation, and she was about to face the same fate.

Her eyes, filled with a fierce determination and anger, were tightly focused, and her body was taut. Her white teeth were clenched tightly on her tender, pale lips.

In this dire situation, she could not think of anything or consider anything else. Her only thought was to stay alive and escape from the military camp.

With this in mind, Yu Ruyan could not help but look past the beaded curtain at the man on the bed, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

She was originally the Princess sent by the Great Qi to form an alliance with the Liang Kingdom, but now she had become the lowest of the low, a camp prostitute. All of this was caused by the man outside, yet she had to cater to him. Only by staying by his side, in the commander's tent, could she avoid being trampled by thousands of soldiers...

This time, she did not obediently kneel on the ground waiting for his instructions. Instead, she proactively climbed onto the bed and knelt beside the man. Her delicate hands hesitated in the air for a moment before finally reaching out to touch him...

Mu Lingzhi, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, had long forgotten about the camp prostitute. Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands roaming over his body. His eyebrows arched, his eyes turned cold, and his expression showed a hint of disgust.

All the other camp prostitutes were crying and resisting, but she had climbed onto his bed on her own, truly a despicable act!

He was about to kick her away, but suddenly his movement paused—

Yu Ruyan's soft hands accurately found the pressure points on his body, massaging the spots that would make him feel comfortable. Her movements were gentle and soothing, and the pressure was just right.

"Your Highness, you have endured the hardships of military campaigns for so long. Let me... let this servant help you relax!" Yu Ruyan tried to control the tremor in her voice, making it sound as calm and gentle as possible, but no matter how she tried to hide it, her body's trembling betrayed her.

Mu Lingzhi's eyes narrowed, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, she was very afraid of him, yet she still climbed onto his bed on her own. This was interesting!

He retracted his feet, turned over to lie down, and closed his eyes, silently allowing her to continue.

Seeing that he did not force her off the bed, Yu Ruyan secretly let out a sigh of relief. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and served him even more diligently.

"Have you learned the art of massage?" After a long while, Mu Lingzhi opened his eyes and gave her a cold glance.

With just that glance, Mu Lingzhi's cold eyes suddenly became deeper.

She was only loosely tied with a pink belly band around her chest. She knew that this attempt to cover up only made her more appealing to the man.
