[Top-Tier Wealthy Family + Powerful, Brilliant, Unhinged Heroine + Patient but Dominant Hero + Matched Rivals Who Love and Battle Each Other, with Devoted Spoiling + Both Leads Are Inexperienced]
To find a strong woman to manage the household for his frail heir, Gong Muxze, Old Master Gong set his sights on Wu Yue, the unruly, bloodthirsty eldest daughter of the Wu family.
Because Old Master Gong had once helped her mother, Wu Yue reluctantly agreed to meet Gong Muxze. But she never expected the old man and her father to conspire against her, drugging her as soon as she arrived and forcing her to comply.
But who says a princess has to be paired with a prince? She admired strong knights far more than fragile princes.
So Wu Yue gave herself to Mu Xiao.
She thought their relationship was one where she was settling for him and he was the one reaching above his station, and that everything would be on her terms.
But when the Gong family was rocked by upheaval, the power lurking behind it finally emerged. It was Mu Xiao.
Wu Yue was stunned. She hated Mu Xiao for hiding the truth and deceiving her. From then on, they grew distant and clashed at every turn. With his family’s mission weighing on him, Mu Xiao could hardly avoid competing with her, yet at every life-or-death moment, he always gave way to her.
Many years later, Wu Yue finally learned that she had been the one under his protection all along.
