MTL - Emperor’s Conquest - Chapter 39 Suspicious

The Prince of Su Wang, Chu Ba Ning is not famous because of his great status and power, but because legend has it that whoever becomes his wife will be cursed to death, with no children to inherit his fortunes.

Even the biggest casino in the capital city would gamble and bet how she would die.
