I was born into this world eighteen years ago, and spent the last ten as a hidden guard for Prince Ning, Zhao Rui. During those years, I risked my life for him and used everything I had learned to clear every obstacle in his path.
Then one day, out of nowhere, he ordered me to take the place of the woman he had always loved and fulfill her engagement, marrying the fiancé who had been stripped of his title and reduced in status.
I was already sick of life as a hidden guard. I pretended to accept the arrangement under duress, using the chance to escape Prince Ning’s control. Then, when I learned the truth about my entire family being silenced, hatred for the Zhao imperial clan surged within me.
And so, I turned dark.
On my path into darkness, I met a vicious wolf who wore sheep’s clothing just like me. The moment I saw through his true nature, he said we were made for each other!
