Su Yanliang is the legitimate daughter of a general’s household. After an accident leads her to mistake Emperor Xiao Xuan for the man who saved her life, she falls in love with him.
From then on, she willingly becomes the assassin operating in the shadows of his power, ready to brave fire and water for him, kill for him, and rob for him.
But what does she get in return? Poison slipped to her without warning, a cold dagger, the massacre of her entire family, her sister’s betrayal, and more lies from Xiao Xuan than she can count.
Fortunately, Heaven takes pity on her, and she is reborn.
She swears that this time, she will keep her fate firmly in her own hands. Not one of those who wronged her in her previous life will get away!
But while she’s on the path to revenge, a devilishly handsome prince keeps appearing at her side.
The first time they meet, she happens to save him.
The second time, he quietly helps her out of a jam.
The third time, he helps her get a weapon that suits her.
By their nth meeting, the prince finally gets his way and marries his beauty. Here’s a glimpse into their married life:
Su Yanliang rubs her belly. “I’m hungry. I want candied hawthorn.”
Xiao Chen: “Coming right up. I’ll go buy some for you, dear.”
Su Yanliang looks down the street. “I want to buy a shop and start a business.”
Xiao Chen: “I’ve already set aside silver notes for you.”
Su Yanliang: “I want…”
Xiao Chen looks pitiful. “Dear, when are you going to think about me?”
