Lady Ge Beining slipped under her blankets, ready to fall into a blissful sleep. She let out a small sigh from the warmth of the blankets. Her fingertips were cold, but it was slowly beginning to heat up. She pulled the blankets to her shoulders with a tired frown. It was such a long day…
Lady Ge Beining did not think she would be subjected to such horrible torture. It would've been better if she was able to get her hands on a tonic that would help quell the heat, rather than let herself be drowned in cold water. But she did what she had to do.
"It was the only way for me to maintain my innocence," Lady Ge Beining told herself whilst closing her eyes.
Soon, sleep overtook her. It was an effortless transition, and she would have a peaceful sleep, free of terrors, for the only problem in her life would soon be gone.
