[Beauty with a delicate body and soft body VS the prince of war god who is cold outside and hot inside]

Shen Mingjiao has been in the mansion for ten years, King Su has never stayed in her courtyard once, and even recorded the illegitimate child outside under her name, and finally died in the palace change, what a pitiful person!

Shen Mingjiao: “…” How can she be pitiful?

Until that day, he rushed all the way from the border into the palace, saw her lying silently in a pool of blood, at that moment, his eyes turned red and he went crazy.
