Synopsis

[Cold-Blooded Assassin VS Debauched, Dissolute Prince] (Both leads are inexperienced; happy ending / not a mindless power fantasy)

Everyone says the fifth young lady recently brought back to the Duke’s manor is as refined and virtuous as an orchid. Only Xie Li knows that beneath that gentle facade lies a poisonous poppy.

“Miss, have we met somewhere before?”

“I am but a humble willow, unworthy of Your Highness’s gaze.”

To gain her freedom, He Ci became the Duke’s fifth young lady and won the Crown Prince’s favor, just as she had hoped. She planned to finish her mission quickly and leave, but fate swallowed her like a whirlpool. He Ci was dragged deeper and deeper until she became the very center of the storm.

Xie Li became whatever others wanted him to be. After more than a decade of lying low and playing a part, he thought he had built himself armor as impenetrable as a fortress, impervious to blades and arrows, with a heart as still as water.

But one stone stirred a thousand waves, and their surging layers sent him careening out of control.

When they first met, she wanted to kill someone, and he wanted to save them.

When they met again, she had become the Duke’s fifth young lady, pampered in a residence outside the manor and doing everything she could to enter the Crown Prince’s household.

“Hey, let’s make a deal.” “...”

After several close encounters, Xie Li finally understood: compared to a poppy, she was more like a lily of the valley. Pure and white on the surface, but poisonous underneath all the same!

“He Ci, how about you choose me instead?”

(A completely fictional setting, unrelated to history.)

By chance, I discovered a book that is very appetizing! The female protagonist is a cold killer, while the male protagonist pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. The two of them are both clumsy when facing opponents! (The contrast between the male protagonists amazes me, haha. I am a sapiosexual who loves the warmth of the sun and the coldness of the frost. I like this kind of evenly matched love.) The author's writing is smooth, the conception is rigorous, and the plot lines are everywhere! Looking forward to the subsequent development of the story!!!

Big cheers for the author! The plot development so far seems to be very natural, and the emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists are also very interesting, but the female protagonist feels so aggrieved and controlled by others 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺

The plot content makes it impossible to guess what will happen next, the characters are all vivid, and the character selection is fresh 💕 Come on, come on, come on

Please update the author quickly. The writing style is really good. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is like a long-lasting relationship. The female protagonist makes people feel handsome and distressed. Please update it quickly.

Very beautiful! Very beautiful! The plot has ups and downs, and the best thing is that the editor will add notes next to some small points to remind readers of some plot points or which chapters the characters have appeared in before.
