A Feathered Plot for Your Heart

A treacherous political plot tears apart two childhood friends, ending their bond and sending them down separate paths. Perhaps fate will bring them together again. When they meet once more, he is a powerful and influential magistrate of the Court of Judicial Review in the capital, while she is the first wanted criminal he must arrest after taking office: the greatest assassin in the martial world. He still loves her, but she hates him to the bone. He is determined to take her away and keep her close, but she is just as determined to escape him and kill him with her own hands. The martial world, the imperial court, love and hatred, country and family: one wall after another stands between them. He still insists on marrying her, but this time, she refuses to become his wife and join the Xie family. After years in hiding, she walks alone, reopening old cases and killing corrupt officials. She will be the one moving the pieces, her sword pointed at imperial power. Weathered and scarred, whenever she is at her most vulnerable and wretched, she always finds Xie Chenzhou standing tall behind her. Xie Chenzhou: “Just keep walking forward. I'll be the armor that guards your heart.”
