Synopsis

“Two female leads, not mindless wish fulfillment, political intrigue, female empowerment”

The funeral of Shen Kuang, the empire’s hero and Grand Marshal, was the finest work of her life.

Lin Shu, a talented woman imprisoned by the halo of a hero, used her hands, skilled at blending the world’s most exquisite fragrances, to burn down her own gilded cage. She was certain her husband’s death would be attributed to “overwork,” just like the countless heroes recorded in the history books, with no loose ends.

Until that woman appeared: Li Yunzheng, the Grand Princess of the Empire.

She was the most noble woman in the empire, the embodiment of power and wisdom. She brought no instruments of torture and held no formal hearings. With nothing but a cup of tea and a casual game of chess, she drove Lin Shu to the edge of a cliff. To her, this bizarre murder was not a matter of state, but an unprecedented intellectual game that could entertain her.

This was a profoundly unequal contest.

On one side was a prisoner in her boudoir, wielding the smoke from her brazier as a sword and the cycles of plants as armor.

On the other was a player who looked down upon all living things, casting the supreme authority of the throne as her net and human desire as bait.

When the hunter begins to admire the prey’s spirit, and survival comes at the cost of one’s soul and freedom, where will this deadly game of cat and mouse lead?

Lin Shu’s fragrances can kill and save. Can they also... imprison someone?

Are There Any More Normal Female-Oriented Stories? They Are Getting More and More Ridiculous

No showbiz, no being adored by everyone, and no female lead who loses her mind the moment she meets the male lead. I don't want another supposedly clear-headed, strong female lead who turns into a lovesick idiot and acts like she can't live without him. No jokes just for the sake of jokes, either. Are there any female leads with brains and common sense?
