Ning Xiao hadn’t expected that behind Su Wan, there lay such a past, and his eyes flickered slightly, "Then what were your recent actions for?"
During this time, as the Emperor fell ill, Su Wan seized power. She vehemently suppressed the current ministers, and within merely half a month, seven families had been exterminated, the brutality of which was horrifying.
Upon hearing Ning Xiao’s question, Su Wan slightly furrowed her brows, appearing to be deep in thought. Then, all of a sudden, she clapped her hands excitedly, "Ah, I’ve got it, because it makes me happy."
Saying so, Su Wan leaned forward slightly, the pearl earrings jingling by her ears, "I enjoy seeing these people in despair, this is just the beginning."
The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion had constrained her entire life, leaving her mired in despair. Later, entering the harem, Imperial Authority too loomed over her neck like a sharp blade.
Yet now, those treated like ants at will had ascended to that supreme position, possessing the power to manipulate countless lives.
Su Wan felt an unparalleled ease and pleasure, starting from the moment she sat on the high seat, her obsession with Ning Xiao faded.
It could even be said that she lost all obsession with everything she once couldn’t obtain.
For she had tasted the euphoria that supreme power brings.
Even now, despite Ning Xiao’s exceptional martial skills, even though he was now a General commanding heavy troops, he still had to rush back to the Capital overnight under her decree, cowering at her feet.
Su Wan reclined on the high platform, her gaze moving beyond Ning Xiao to the undulating mountains and rivers outside, lights intertwined, forming a vast net of stars as if to ensnare her forever within.
At this moment, the luxurious palace attire she wore could hardly suppress the gleam in her eyes.
Ning Xiao frowned as he watched Shu Wan on the platform, inexplicably feeling that at this moment, Su Wan seemed truly infused with a soul, shedding her former false disguise to truly become herself.
The TV series finale hadn’t yet been released, scenes of Shu Wan seated on the high platform, gazing out at distant mountains and rivers, were edited out by countless people.
The name "king" quickly appeared as a trending real-time search on the microblog.
At first, everyone thought the trending search was about some game releasing an outrageous new skin that got people talking.
But as they clicked in, they realized it was about the drama.
Mentioning "The Mad King," people’s first thought was of the male lead.
Indeed, it’s extremely rare for this term to be used to describe female characters in countless films and shows.
However, once people watched the video, they immediately understood the meaning behind the trending search name.
Even though Su Wan was clad in the most intricately ornate Noble Consort attire, full of pearl hairpins and vibrant makeup,
The moment her eyes swept across the expansive landscape, there was an undeniable urge to submit at her feet.
[Damn, isn’t this the Shu Wan who kept getting flamed online before? Isn’t she doing a great job acting? So cool, it’s rare to see an actress play a villain with such authority.]
[Ahhh, husband isn’t a gender, it’s a title!!! I just want to say, if Shu Wan isn’t my husband, then who is!!! Top tier alpha in the entertainment circle is no joke.]
[So sublime, although this video doesn’t have a single spoken line, it feels like I saw her shattered past, her insane present, and her ambitious future.]
Without tonight’s performance, Shu Wan’s earlier villainous portrayal would have been just purely malicious.
However, adding in her survey of the vast lands added a profoundly complex, eerie feeling, inexplicably extending to infinite sighs about the grand finale.
[So whose fault is it? It seems like everyone is at fault, yet like no one is at fault, everyone is being pushed forward by fate, Su Wan is hateful, pitiful, also tragic.]
[Ning Xiao supported the Third Prince, who is gentle and virtuous right now. What about after he sits in that position? Will he also become as crazy as these people?]
[Shu Wan’s acting really has something. Even though I know she’s wrong, I actually feel a hope for her to wield power. Since this world is so crazy, let’s just destroy everything altogether.]
