[Sweet-looking, secretly dark + aloof beauty brought down from her pedestal by love + rivals in love + coercive romance + confinement]
[Cool-headed heroine bent on revenge + scheming, possessive hero]
Everything changed overnight. Cavalry trampled the land of Donglai, and smoke rose from all directions.
Though countless horsemen wore crimson armor, they could not prevent the fall of their homeland.
The mountains and rivers remained, but her old companions were gone. With the hatred of a fallen nation weighing on her, how could she laugh and talk about life?
Shi Lan became a princess of a conquered nation. She endured humiliation and bowed low before her enemies, believing the path to revenge would be full of thorns.
Then Song Zheng appeared and saved her. She had meant to use him, but could not resist his devoted companionship.
They relied on one another, facing danger at every turn, and their feelings grew with every step.
She stood atop the city wall, short blade in hand, her wedding dress stained with blood.
Tears filled her reddened eyes, but her gaze was resolute as she faced the group behind her who wanted her dead.
“If you refuse to tell right from wrong, then watch as I sacrifice his life today to the countless people of Donglai who have fallen!”
“Song Zheng! Don't let this woman deceive you. Come here, quickly!”
“I have always known who she is.” A smile played at his lips as he stood in front of her, not a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
“Who shall we kill next...” Song Zheng gently brushed her reddened eyelid, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
He was heaven's favored son, as noble and bright as the moon, a rare genius. He used poison as medicine, yet could not cure himself.
His future in the government should have been secure, but then he met Shi Lan.
He had always known her identity, yet chose to protect her and make an enemy of everyone else. With an unjust ruler and a suffering world, he firmly took her side.
He betrayed his family's ideals, cast off the responsibilities on his shoulders, and abandoned his father, brothers, and clan.
He was willing to become a demon and fight by her side, showing favor to her alone.
It's good to watch, the story line is very complete, the protagonist is very distinctive, and the plot is also very exciting. I have been following the update. I am moved by Lan Zheng's love.
The story line is very good, great, and highly recommended.
It's a pretty good revenge story, it has a good combination of fun and sadistic elements, and the tension is moderate.
