The Captivating Crown Prince - Chapter 1

01 The Witch’s Death – unedited

T/W for r*pe between the dotted lines

“You’re really cruel!” Shang Wuxin looked at the man opposite and said blankly. Even though she was betrayed, she still didn’t show any distressed expression, but no one knew that the hands in her sleeves had started to turn white.

A very handsome man with a pair of peach blossom eyes sat across from Shang Wuxin. There was a flash of grief in his eyes, but he had been lurking by Shang Wuxin’s side for so many years in disguise, just for this day. As long as he killed this woman, he would be able to flourish in the future. In the police station, he could also directly take over orders from above to become the new mayor and take charge of the entire city A.

“Shang Wuxin, you witch!” The man looked ferociously at the seductive woman who was drugged by him and said with a smile, “Do you know? My parents were killed by you. It’s been so many years, so many years. Do you know how much I wanted to kill you? How disgusting it was for me to be around you, I don’t love you at all!”

Shang Wuxin was dressed in red and sat on the scarlet sofa, looking at the man she really loved, feeling sad in her heart. The man in front of him who drugged her and wanted to kill her was called Du Xingfeng. He was her secret boyfriend. Why was he secret? Because she had offended too many enemies on the right path and evil path, she was afraid that someone would hurt her man, so she deliberately pretended to have many lovers, but they were all to protect her boyfriend Du Xingfeng.

Shang Wuxin laughed, and her smile trembled wildly. It took a long time before she regained her strength and looked at the man opposite. Shang Wuxin stood up unsteadily and came to the man. He stiffened but then remembered that she had already been so heavily drugged that she couldn’t do anything to him. He didn’t move and wanted to see how this female devil that everyone feared died in front of him.

Shang Wuxin caressed Du Xingfeng’s peach blossom eyes, and she had to admit that she liked Du Xingfeng no matter his appearance or his disguised personality, that’s why she let in such a man in spite of her dangerous identity.

“Sure enough, you’re really their son who has been able to lurk by my side for so many years. Even I almost believed that you really loved me!” Shang Wuxin smiled, touching the man’s eyelids to the bridge of his nose, “It really disappoints me. It’s rare that I fall in love with a man, and it turned out to be like this!”

Shang Wuxin really didn’t fall in love with this man at first sight. At first, she just admired him a little bit. She was still very wary of this man, but the two had been in love for ten years. From the age of seventeen to the present age of twenty-seven. She was always on guard and repulsed when she was with this man at the beginning, and then she slowly relaxed. She no longer carried weapons by the man’s side, and no longer checked in private when she ate the food cooked by the man, but this was the trust that backfired.

“A witch like you had such a strong sense of defense at such a young age. If I didn’t pretend to like me, how could I kill you!”She was a glamorous woman, and it was undeniable that he had really been attracted to Shang Wuxin. If such a woman treated him better, it was difficult for a man not to be indifferent. Well, it was a pity that they should be enemies by nature, whether it was their parents’ enmity or their identities as good and evil. They shouldn’t love each other.

Shang Wuxin didn’t seem to be sad at all. Even though she was poisoned, she still looked calm and breezy. She stroked the bridge of the man’s nose to his thin lips and then kissed him like every time, but the difference is that this time the man didn’t respond eagerly, and Shang Wuxin didn’t have any enjoyment either.

After the one-sided kiss ended, Shang Wuxin looked at this man and sighed a little. They had been dating for so many years, they have never crossed the line of kissing and hugging. She used to think that maybe this man felt pity for the memory of the unbearable fear in her heart, but now…

“Shang Wuxin, do you know? Your kiss really makes me sick!” Du Xingfeng looked at the woman in front of him and smiled evilly. It was an expression he had never shown in front of Shang Wuxin. Before he acted as a modest gentleman, now his ambition and true colors were exposed.

“A woman who was raped by her adoptive father since she was a child, do you think I really like to kiss you?” Du Xingfeng felt depressed when he saw the woman’s unchanged expression. Why did this woman still look like that at this time? She had no fear, it was not fair! Du Xingfeng continued, “A woman like you is really dirty! How could I touch you! Oh, by the way, people know that you have many lovers, and you are just a slut!”

______________________________________________________________________________

A strong light emerged from the depths of Shang Wuxin’s eyes, but it’s a pity that this man didn’t see it, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought up Shang Wuxin’s most unbearable memory like this, and talked about Shang Wuxin’s nightmarish past.

“It’s such a pity!” Shang Wuxin stood up suddenly, her firm and enchanting steps didn’t look like she had been poisoned, she sat there and said with a smile, “I wanted to save your life, but now… nothing at all!”

Looking at Shang Wuxin like this, Du Xingfeng was a little scared and was about to take out the gun he hid in his clothes, but before he could take out the gun, Shang Wuxin took out a pen and inserted it into his throat.

Du Xingfeng’s eyes were still wide open. Until his death, he never imagined how Shang Wuxin could commit such a murder, and he didn’t even know how Shang Wuxin could drink the poison but be fine. Such skills were like martial artists’ in movies. Unfortunately, Du Xingfeng never had the chance to know.

“Miss!” Suddenly a woman rushed in from outside. This woman was Shang Wuxin’s right-hand man and the steward of the mansion. Seeing her Miss sitting there weakly, the woman’s eyes were filled with tears.

Shang Wuxin smiled indifferently, but her face also turned a little pale, and she was not as relaxed as she looked just now.

“Wuwei!” Shang Wuxin looked at the woman and said, “Drag him out and don’t dirty my place. From now on, I will give the Shang estate to you when I’m gone. I know you’re not interested but it’s still a big influence so that even if I’m not here, you can do whatever you want fearlessly!”

“Miss!” Wuwei looked at the charming Shang Wuxin who was sitting there laughing, and tears suddenly flowed down. This was the lady she has always followed. People could only see her cruelty and horror, but in her heart, she knew how hard her Miss had it.

Shang Wuxin waved her hand with an irresistible majesty, Wuwei took a deep look at Miss, then dragged the corpse on the floor and left the room, leaving this terrifying place where everyone wanted to come in but didn’t know it was empty inside. The mansion of Miss Shang’s family.

But shortly after Wuwei walked out of the mansion, she saw a raging fire in the mansion. The fire was terrifying. Wuwei stood there watching, tears streaming down her face, then suddenly fell to her knees and shouted “Miss!”

Shang Wuxin sat in the room and looked at the photo on the table. In the photo was a little girl, innocent and youthful. It was a photo of her when she was five years old. It was also the only photo in her life because since then, she never smiled like this again in her life.

Everyone knew that the Shang family was the leading family in the country in terms of wealth and power, but people didn’t know that the Shang family was an ancient martial arts family, a family with cultivation and martial arts like a martial arts novel. The difference was that the Shang family was not a hermit family but rather was fighting for a share of the interests in the noisy city.

She, Shang Wuxin, was a child from the offshoot of the Shang family, who was favored by the original head of the Shang family as a foster daughter during the family reunion. In the beginning, she was really happy that she could become the adoptive daughter of the head of the Shang family, but when her parents saw her becoming the daughter of the Shang family, their faces were stiff for a moment, and they looked at her full of sympathy. After entering the Shang family’s mansion that everyone envied, she didn’t understand why her parents looked like that at the beginning, but later, she understood.

On her eighth birthday, her adoptive father picked her up from the training ground and held a birthday party for her, and her parents were among them. After the party, she was taken into the room by her adoptive father. It was a shame that she would never forget. She was raped by her nominal adoptive father, and she was only a child. It hurt. She didn’t know what happened but knowing the shame, she yelled for her parents in pain, longing for someone to save her, but her parents turned a deaf ear to the door. For their benefit and their reputation, they even helplessly sent their daughter, who was still a child, into a 30-year-old man’s bed.

______________________________________________________________________________

The pain was numbing to the extreme, and Shang Wuxin had suffered many, many injuries since then, but none of them had the pain of that day. She didn’t even think of dying. When she crawled out of the bloody bed, she knew that she was going to kill her adoptive father and her so-called parents. She was going to be strong, she was going to be the devil everyone feared!

It took her five years to learn the secret martial arts of the Shang family and become a real master. She blatantly killed her adoptive father and took the power of the entire Shang family into her own hands. She watched as her parents were kicked out of the Shang family and committed suicide. She became stronger and became a female devil.

But her heart was as calm as stagnant water, and her body was slowly drying up. It was ridiculous. Although she was a teenager, her body was drying up. Her adoptive father was afraid that one day, she would become his hindrance, so he poisoned her all the time, so she couldn’t live long at all. Even if the current medical science was advanced, it couldn’t save her.

Later, she met Du Xingfeng and liked this man because he was the only man among many who was not afraid of herself, and this man was very good at pleasing her. She had never been in a relationship but was greedy for warmth, so they fell in love secretly! She once thought that she would not live long, so from her death on, the Shang estate would be split between Du Xingfeng and Wuwei, but it was a pity that reality slapped her face and made fun of her innocence. She was Shang Wuxin, how could she have a heart?

*T/N: Wuxin = no heart

In fact, Du Xingfeng didn’t know that even if he didn’t kill Shang Wuxin today, she wouldn’t live for more than a few months, but he didn’t expect the result to be like this. It’s true that she was poisoned by Du Xingfeng, but Du Xingfeng didn’t know that she possessed martial arts, so he was doomed. She didn’t tell him because it was unnecessary, but now she saw the true face of a man. She knew that she wouldn’t survive today, so she just wanted to disappear like this!

The fire spread around Shang Wuxin, and the orange flames against Shang Wuxin’s fiery red dress looked extremely desolate.

Burn it, burn all the filth, including yourself… Shang Wuxin felt the pain of the fire burning on her skin, felt the pain that pierced her heart, and showed a beautiful smile on her face, just like the five-year-old… As pure as the girl of that year…
