[Power Struggles] [Harem Intrigue] [Historical Romance] [A Satisfying Revenge]
She first met him on a night so dark she couldn’t see her own hand in front of her...
He wore black, and she was locked in her bedroom.
Gu Zhiwei: “Shall we make a deal?”
Nangong Xuan: “What kind?”
Gu Zhiwei: “I need a man.”
He fell for her during one confused night, but she had no idea who he was.
Beneath the veil of Gu Zhiwei, the Prime Minister’s illegitimate daughter, lay a face uncannily like the one in a forbidden portrait hidden deep within the palace.
Nangong Xuan infiltrated the Prime Minister’s residence to uncover the truth, and came upon her in a secluded place, breathtakingly beautiful.
Everyone said she was obedient and well-behaved, but only he knew how cold and heartless she could be...
A bloodstained letter from twenty years ago slipped from a hidden compartment, revealing three blood-soaked characters: “Chen Muyan.” She was the late emperor’s unforgettable first love, and the source of Nangong Xuan’s mother’s madness.
At a banquet where a song led to mistaken identities, he saw in her eyes the same solitary, wolf-like gaze he saw in his own.
The imperial palace was a living hell, where the emperor’s machinations became poison-tipped shackles.
Someone sought to unleash another storm of bloodshed by exploiting Gu Zhiwei’s resemblance to the forbidden portrait.
But she turned the plot against its makers and threw the palace into chaos.
When the poison in Nangong Xuan’s body flared and he pressed a blade to Gu Zhiwei’s throat, she smiled and clasped his trembling hand. “Your Highness, your sword should be aimed at your true enemy.”

Not bad, the more I read, the more I want to read it!
