Ginger on the Pear Tree

She was a princess personally appointed by the emperor, yet because of her origins, her aunt manipulated her into becoming a remorseless killer. For the sake of the Feng family, she spent six years living by the sword.

Until one day, she jumped from the city wall.

“Brother Hong, let me die once, for Great Jiang. Then I’ll have repaid my debt.” As Jin Li fell from the wall, these were the words she said to Zhou Qinghong in her heart.

She still remembered the look in Ye Feng’s eyes. That alone had made it worthwhile.

Long ago, Zhou Qinghong had said, “If I become a good man someday, would you marry me and be my princess consort?”

But he had never done anything truly wicked. She, Feng Jinli, had already committed sins beyond measure.
