Summary
Chapter 0 Everyone envies me for taking on such a sweet, filial disciple. Only I know that my disciple wants to kill me. The tea he offered during the apprenticeship ceremony was poisoned, the plum blossom cakes he makes are poisoned, and even the incense he burns is laced with toxins. While I was holding a memorial service for my late lover, I felt that murderous intent clearly once again. As always, he poured my wine with submissive respect. And as always, I drained the cup in one gulp. I do not fear poison. But tonight, I miscalculated. It was an aphrodisiac.
