A cold-blooded, ruthless prince versus a black-lotus princess of a fallen kingdom
Fate has it in for her!
As a princess, Luo Mengxi was born to wealth and honor, admired by all. Yet in the bloom of her youth, her family was destroyed and she was reduced to slavery.
Reborn, she learns that the boundless love she once took pride in was all an illusion. Her identity was forged, and at the age of eight she was sent to a remote mountain temple to become the legitimate heir. Fate has played a cruel trick on her.
Six years later, her temperament has changed completely. To others, she is an innocent white lotus; behind closed doors, she is violent and bloodthirsty, skilled at manipulating hearts. She uncovers the truth and kills the wicked.
As a prince, Xiao Cijun is The Outcast, second only to the emperor. Yet the woman he saved out of gratitude makes his heart stir more with every carefully plotted step. "The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous she is. Yun'er, I've fallen in love with you."
Murong Yun naturally nestles into his arms and gazes at him pitifully. "The mountain has trees, and the trees have branches. I love you, but you don't know."
"I know!"
On their wedding night, Xiao Cijun props himself on one arm and gazes at her, murmuring, "The blue jacaranda only shelters the forgiving bird. It loves nothing in the world but you."
He touches the tip of her nose. This road is lined with flowers, yet full of thorns, and the waters run deep. I only hope you will be safe and well, year after year.
After they marry, his bloodlust gradually turns into a double standard. In front of the elders, he says disdainfully, "My lady, your health is too frail to withstand the wind and rain."
In front of his wife: "Yun'er, I'm so tired. Please hug me."
In front of others, she says, "The wind is so strong, it nearly blew me over."
Behind closed doors: she puts on her veil, strikes with a blade, and loves no one!
