Blade Concubine

After surviving the apocalypse, Chu Jiayuan transmigrates to Dongyue. She wants nothing more than to live out her days peacefully as a country farmer, but a clan-destroying disaster shatters her quiet life... She changes her appearance and knocks on the vermilion gates of Prince Jing's residence, offering herself as a concubine and submitting to his every whim. Using his power, she plots step by step, until on the day of the grand wedding, as her enemy dons the phoenix crown and wedding robes, she kills the mastermind with her own hands! Amid the blazing flames, she meets Xun Yi's anguished, dark gaze. “Was all of this... a lie?” “My love for you was real. So was using you.” The truth comes without warning, crushing her heart. Yet when she waits for his thunderous rage, he chooses silence, swallowing the bitter fruit of betrayal to protect her. Day after day, he keeps his distance, until the fire in her heart burns out... He pulls her into his arms and sighs. “Whether it was using you or loving you, for the long years ahead, you'll be by my side!”
