When Liu Muyin was fourteen, her family offered her to a notorious traitor, a man said to slaughter people without mercy, in hopes of saving themselves. She neither cried nor protested, and married him with a calm heart.
At their first meeting, he said, “I can’t give you the love between husband and wife. If you ever meet someone you admire, I’ll let you go.”
She felt she had married the right man. A man who cared about business, not romance, suited her perfectly.
…
Years later, the notorious traitor became the supreme ruler. She figured it was time to retire after a job well done, take her gold and silver, and settle down in the countryside to live a carefree life.
But the dignified man in his imperial yellow robes cornered her by the bed, his eyes red. “You want to leave, but did you ask whether I agree?”
A story of love, hate, and revenge, filled with wit and courage, is thrilling and captivating. Although it relies on the somewhat clichéd trope of a strong female lead who always manages to escape danger, I still watched it all the way through. Overall, it's a good watch and worth seeing.
Turbulent times breed heroes; their battles of wits and courage are incredibly exciting.
