倾城风华
她，是二十一世纪杀手界的第一把交椅，心狠手辣、冷酷狂妄是她的专有名词；她，是龙鈅国最具权威的丞相之女，一个胸无点墨不学无术的草包美人。一朝嫁入皇室，却于新婚之夜被帝王无情地打入了冷宫。当她变成她，一个顶尖杀手穿越成为了一个落了毛的凤凰，纵然是萧条冷宫也难掩她的满身风华，纵然是粗布麻衣也难掩她的万丈光芒！【片段一】“雅儿，能听到···你这么说，我···死而无憾了。你曾说过···若有来生，只希望我···不再生在···帝王家，这辈子我们···无缘再聚，你可不可以···许我下辈子？下辈子···我们只做一对···普通夫妻，朝出而做，朝落而息，可好？”听到夜魅的话，轩辕殇惨白的脸上瞬间露出了一抹幸福的笑容，眼神却有些迷离了，仿佛在幻想着他们的下辈子。“好，我答应你，下辈子我们一定会是世界上最恩爱的夫妻！殇，你不可以忘了我，知道吗？要是你敢喝下孟婆汤忘了我，我生生世世都不会原谅你的！你听到了吗？”“小傻瓜，就算我忘了···自己是谁，也绝不会···忘记···你！你的一颦一笑···早已深深地印···在了我的灵魂上，就算轮回···千年，我也绝不···会忘记你！雅儿，答应我，你一定要好···好好的幸福下去，连同我的那一份···一起幸福下去！答应我，好不好？”【片段二】“就算我一辈子不接受你你也会守在我的身边吗？”“是，哪怕你一辈子都不接受我我也会守着你。只要你能让我每天都看见你我就满足了，我希望我可以分享你每一次的喜悦，分担你每一次的悲伤。因为只有这样，我才会感受到我的心跳，才能证明我是活着的。”虽然我会心痛，可是比起永远见不到你来说，心痛的感觉已经微乎其微了。“尘，我夜魅何德何能，能得你如此痴心守候？”不可否认，夜魅真的感动了，温热的泪水滑过脸庞滴落在红唇上，竟是甜甜的···“因为你是我的整个世界啊。傻瓜，别哭。”······“尘，既然牵了手，就不要轻易放手。”“魅儿，这辈子我都不会再放开你的手，不管前面有什么在等着我们，我都会牵着你的手一起走过。你生我生，你死我死！”【片段三】“上官楚寒你看清楚了，我是夜魅，不是你的妹妹上官雅儿！我也不稀罕当谁的替代品！”“我知道！我知道你是夜魅不是雅儿，我上官楚寒爱的就是你夜魅，你也不是任何人的替代品！”“不···不可能，你爱的一直都是上官雅儿！”
