[Refined Minister Rong Yu VS Scheming Female Emperor Jiang Yining]
[Modern Woman Transmigrates to Ancient Times + Political Intrigue + The Nation and Its People + Jianghu + Multiple Identities]
She is the head of a modern martial arts family, but overnight transmigrates into the body of the female emperor of Chu Lan, a ruler infamous throughout the land, with a court full of intrigue.
He is the chancellor of Chu Lan, handsome and refined, physically frail and confined to his sickbed, yet devious and ruthless beneath the surface.
* The first time she disguised herself as a female physician, she saw that he really was a beauty. Dressed in white, he was flawless as fresh-fallen snow, his beauty seemingly untouched by time. Now she understood why the original body had fallen for him as a young girl and never forgotten him.
She folded her arms, a hint of amusement beneath her veil. “This common woman is naturally here for the money. I’d still like to stay alive.”
His dark eyes were deep, reflecting the moonlight. He suddenly looked at her. “I’m afraid you won’t live long enough to spend it, Miss.”
*At a palace banquet, countless noble young ladies were smitten with him, but he turned them all down.
The wind before the hall lifted the hem of his pale blue robe. “I have been ill for a long time, and Your Majesty has shown me great favor. I have little time left. It is only natural that Miss should find me unsuitable.”
His expression carried a hint of sorrow, and she felt a pang of pity. But if he ever learned the truth, would he regret it?
“Your Majesty, that isn’t what I meant,” she blurted out.
A glimmer flashed in the eyes of the man beside her, and a smile returned to his lips.

When a modern assassin and family head meets a seemingly frail chancellor,
when a crown prince bent on avenging his fallen kingdom encounters an exalted female emperor,
will affection grow over time, or will they fight to the bitter end, each vying to outshine the other?
