[No golden finger, no transmigration, no rebirth: a pure historical romance in an alternate setting, with revenge and political intrigue!]
[The martial world’s fleetest, bandit-like wanderer Nan Zheng vs. the brilliant, battle-hardened General Chu Yao]
One seems like a carefree, lively sparrow; the other, a lone wolf poised to strike.
Because of a “bald donkey,” Nan Zheng is accidentally swept into the heart of a brewing conflict.
She tugs her “bald donkey” along and says awkwardly, “I was just passing by, haha... Just passing by.”
Chu Yao narrows his eyes, scrutinizing the woman who has suddenly barged in. He suspects she is the very person he has been looking for.
Later, after they part ways in Chencang Commandery, Chu Yao never expects to find her again as the Second Miss of the Minister of Revenue’s household.
The famed “Shadowless” of the martial world is her, and so is the illegitimate daughter of Minister Nan in the capital.
Nan Zheng is speechless. How does she keep running into this walking calamity wherever she goes?
And this man is always trying, subtly, to bring her under his command. His web of schemes grows wider, his traps grow deeper, all waiting for Nan Zheng to leap in and bury herself.
Little does she know that a massive conspiracy is brewing behind it all.
Whether they are pawns or players will gradually come to light, along with the truth of the tragedy from ten years ago...
For the first twenty years of his life, Chu Yao was imprisoned by hatred. After lying low for a decade, he finally avenged himself, but at the cost of losing what mattered most.
Three years later, when he meets once more the person who has haunted his dreams, he realizes that everything has changed beyond recognition.
