[Alternate setting + historical romance + revenge + winning her back + family intrigue and political schemes + serious drama]
Jiang Yan was sent to a Taoist temple as a child. Little did she know that the temple was actually a front for training lethal weapons for its master.
To survive, Jiang Yan had no choice but to distinguish herself from the others.
Ten years later, while on a mission, Jiang Yan unexpectedly saved A Yu, who was gravely wounded. At their first meeting, each saw something of themselves in the other.
A few months later, Jiang Yan failed her first mission and encountered A Yu on the road.
A Yu died from poison while saving Jiang Yan, leaving behind just one sentence: “Jiang Yan, find another way to live.”
Her mother had once left her three words: “Stay alive.”
And so she had made it to this day.
Now A Yu had left her four words, leading her to choose to go to the capital, Shangjing, and seek the protection of her father and elder brother, Jiang Minggong.
But she arrived just as Jiang Minggong’s daughter, Jiang Minyu, was about to be married off to the gravely wounded Prince Jin as a means of bringing him good fortune.
So Jiang Minggong set his sights on Jiang Yan instead.
Unexpectedly, news soon spread that Prince Jin had recovered from his injuries.
After learning that the Jiang family had a daughter named Jiang Yan, he specifically demanded to marry her.
The man she had once tried to assassinate was now asking to marry her. Jiang Yan could only conclude that he had something wrong with him.
As it turned out, everything had been set in motion long ago.
