章節 103: A Prince and a Commander

After a peaceful dinner, Li Xueyue retreated into her room. She wanted to continue reading the contents of the diary but eventually decided against it. She felt guilty for invading someone else's privacy, so she promised her dying curiosity she would read it tomorrow. 

When she walked past the bookshelf, she retrieved the diary with the intention of hiding it somewhere else. The only problem was where? She didn't have a secret spot that only she knew about. Reluctantly, she slipped it into her nightstand—where servants would never snoop around or open.

After everything was set, she climbed into bed and expected a restful night—as if that was ever possible for her. The only thing she dreamed about were unforgivable days of abuse that she swore she'd pay back tenfold.
