After five years of loving devotion and protection, just as he achieved fame and prepared to ascend the throne, all she received was a cup of poisoned wine.
He destroyed her family and killed her child. A long sword pierced her heart, and after enduring endless torment, she died full of hatred.
Reborn, she tramples scoundrels and crushes scheming white lotuses. Every step is a struggle, every move carefully planned. She swears to make everyone who trampled on her pay the price they deserve!
But who is this wicked, cunning man who took her innocence the very first time they met, yet secretly protects her at every turn?
He is the crown prince, second only to The Outcast and above all others.
So why does he keep closing in on her? Is it true love, or another trap?
“Take the realm as my gift to you, and make you my bride. What more could a man ask for?”
