Su Changying, Princess of Nanwu, is breathtakingly beautiful and exceptionally clever. After her country falls and her family is destroyed, she becomes the servant of Shen Tianlang, the man who killed her father.
She transforms from a pampered princess into a scheming little avenger,
determined by every means possible to destroy Shen Tianlang's family and leave him without a proper burial.
She launches one bizarre scheme after another against him, willing to pay any price as long as it hurts him.
[Revenge Plan]
Su Changying:
I'll send wild beasts after you and tear you limb from limb.
I'll frame you for falsely claiming to have an imperial edict.
I'll turn myself into poisonous bait. The moment you touch me, you'll drop dead from the poison.
I'll use peerless swordsmanship to cut off your dog head.
I'll tempt your mother into regicide and rebellion.
I'll become your legal wife, then assassinate the emperor and have your entire clan executed...
Shen Tianlang:
Well... that's kind of cute.
Shen Tianlang, Prince of Wuying, is valiant and fearsome, cold-blooded and ruthless, with a perverse secret hobby no one knows about.
After leading his troops to conquer Nanwu, he becomes Su Changying's master.
From loathing and hating each other to scheming and fighting against each other, they match wits again and again.
Shen Tianlang gradually falls for her and begins to dote on her without restraint,
completely underestimating her talent for courting disaster and causing trouble, which leaves him at death's door time and again.
With her intelligence and cunning, Su Changying cracks one strange case after another, from the spirit dog accused of regicide, to the haunting in Consort Fang's well, to the weeping-blood Dragon King.
She quickly becomes the emperor's most trusted counselor.
When she uncovers the secret behind Nanwu's rebellion, she and Shen Tianlang finally fall in love.
Together, they triumph in household and palace intrigues, civil wars and foreign wars, becoming a pair of civil and military powerbrokers in the Great An Dynasty.
Yet neither of them knows
that fate has already prepared one cruel joke after another for them.
