Forgive My Family’s Butcher? No Way!

Xiao Wuji, the regent, became fixated on Ye Tingwan after she saved his life, and he shut her up beside him. On their wedding day he acted for the empress dowager and had the Ye household killed, one hundred and thirty-six people. He kept Ye Tingwan as a prisoner and she was tortured. She faked her death and got out with her small son. Five years later he takes her and the boy back to the capital by force, meaning to have her again. She acts as if she has given in and uses the time to collect evidence. At a banquet she puts a knife into his chest herself. The empress dowager has the witnesses silenced and surrounds them, and Xiao Wuji fights, asking to be forgiven for what he did. "Never," Ye Tingwan tells him. She breaks the blood jade and rides out with her son.
