[Two Unhinged Leads, Male Lead Gets Tormented]
In her previous life, Nanzhao was driven apart from the imperial brother who had always cherished her by a villain's lies. Worse, she trusted the wrong person and revealed a royal secret, causing the entire Zhaoyuan imperial family to be wiped out overnight. She herself was killed with a single sword thrust to the throat.
The heavens have given her a chance to live her life again, and she vows to make the villain pay in blood.
The second son of the General's Household is famed for his peerless beauty. As a boy, he was sent to the palace to serve as a prince's study companion, where he endured bullying and mistreatment.
He is proud by nature, but Nanzhao adores the red rims of his eyes and the humiliation in his gaze when he is forced to submit.
Step by step, she trains Xuan Shu into the sharpest blade at her disposal.
When peace finally settles over Zhaoyuan, Nanzhao has had her fill and plans to set him free. But Xuan Shu spits up blood, his usually cool eyes brimming with a sick, obsessive longing as he tries to force his way into staying by her side.
“Your Highness, let me stay by your side.”
“I can be useful.”
P.S. A ruthless, wicked princess and a beautiful, tragic study companion, a high flower on a remote peak.
