On My Path to Revenge, the Prince Keeps Asking to Become Sworn Brothers

[Kind, healing angel of a male lead + ruthless, calculating heroine who plots against the world + both leads are each other’s first and only + beautiful, powerful, and tragic]

Until the age of seven, she was the most cherished princess in her tribe and its only royal heir. All she had to do was come of age, marry a consort, and become queen.

But someone coveted the tribe’s treasured jade. In a single day, her people were wiped out. Her parents and relatives were murdered, and not one of the more than two thousand people in her tribe survived.

As an adult, she discovers that her enemies have infiltrated the imperial court. They hold the highest offices and are members of the imperial family.

She casts aside her identity as a woman and returns with the treasured jade. She gathers wealth from all corners and draws fortune from every direction, determined to slaughter her enemies and dig them out of hiding so she can kill them with her own hands.

When Prince Mu Yuesheng first met Qiang Li, he thought “he” was a man through and through.

This charming person, with handsome brows, bright eyes, a quick mind, and graceful manners, seemed like someone he had to befriend.

But when they played pitch-pot, his opponent hit the target every time. At cuju, Mu Yuesheng stepped on a stone and slipped. Even when they tried pitting their chickens against each other, an enormous eagle swooped down from nowhere and carried his chicken off. Refusing to believe it, Mu Yuesheng kept challenging “him” and kept losing.

How could he know that the other had a divine jade protecting “him” and great fortune on “his” side? No one stood a chance of winning.

Mu Yuesheng made a snap decision: they should sacrifice a chicken, burn yellow paper, and become sworn brothers.

P.S.:

1. Chang Yu is Qiang Li. That’s the name she uses after disguising herself as a man.

2. The plot comes first, with romance as a secondary element. The male lead won’t appear until later~
