Xiao Yunqian transmigrated, out of nowhere, just because she glanced at a red-blood jade pendant?
The future heir to the mighty Xiao Group, worth hundreds of millions, had worked diligently for her own family’s business, calling the shots in the boardroom and enjoying drinks with kindred spirits. What a free and happy life.
Now here she is, under an imperial warrant, dodging heavily armed pursuers every day.
What did she do to make them chase her so relentlessly?
So it was all her unlucky father’s doing?
If she’d known, would she have had to run so hard, flee so diligently, and live such a miserable life?
Her long escape seemed to have no end in sight.
Would she have to use every skill she’d learned in her modern life? Military strategy, martial arts, mechanical traps, chess, rock climbing, disguises?
Had all her hidden skills and secret identities been exposed?
To everyone else, she was an icy beauty: clever, exceptionally gifted, sensitive, and suspicious.
A cold, aloof swordsman in white inexplicably protects her?
A handsome, easygoing young man in purple falls for her at first sight?
Whose heart has been thrown into disarray?
Qin Zhan: In the dead of night, he feels the other person gently push the door open and tiptoe outside. His cool eyes darken. Does she really trust him so little? Through the crack in the door, he silently watches her body tremble from the intense pain. His fingers clench tight, leaving a smear of bright red.
Drinking with a rival in love? He pulls the drunkard into the carriage and looks at him with cool eyes, only to see his pale face tinged with pink. The man braces his right hand beside him and murmurs, “Beautiful one~” in a deep, tender voice. Whose heartbeat goes wild? Who grabs the other by the collar, drags him out of the carriage, and taps his pressure points to sober him up?
[Content warning]
Both leads are strong. It’s a sweet romance, but not pure fluff, with a little angst to keep things interesting. The characters’ emotions are depicted in considerable detail.
