[An unloved, ruthless prince VS a vain concubine-born daughter of a favored official]
Rumor has it that the Second Miss of the Jiang family is not only peerlessly beautiful, but also the sweetest, most obedient girl around.
Little do they know, she went to the palace intending to scheme against the Crown Prince, only to end up in the wrong man's bed.
When the man woke, she gave him a jade pendant. “Take this pendant as compensation. Once I become empress, I'll make it up to you properly.”
Xie Wen is a wretch, disliked by everyone. His father has all but forgotten him, and the throne has nothing to do with him.
Who would have guessed that in secret he manipulates power, controls people's hearts, and turns the entire political landscape upside down?
In a chaotic age, the two conspire to survive. Once they triumph, Xie Wen claims her night after night, all because she once promised to “make it up to him.”
“We were rebels against convention from the start. Why not keep conspiring together and become a pair of kindred spirits in this chaotic age?”
Theme: Why cultivate the Dao? Let's be thoroughly rebellious.
