Palace intrigue, a scheming heroine, an icy prince who pursues his wife through a fiery road to redemption, falling for a beloved first love, extreme angst, extreme sweetness, and a heroine who always gets even.
You scum of a prince! You’ll pay with your life!
Wu Xi’er was placed by her master at the prince’s side to assassinate him and avenge her mother.
Later, Wu Xi’er discovered that the mastermind behind her mother’s murder was the same person who had once sent assassins after the prince.
The prince had happened upon Wu Xi’er and her mother while fleeing that pursuit. Her mother was killed on the spot, and Wu Xi’er was stabbed. Against all odds, she survived. As she lay on the brink of death, the nine-year-old prince saved her.
To repay him for saving her life, Wu Xi’er decided to stay by his side, serving him and doing everything she could to help him achieve his ambitions. But just as she fell in love with the scoundrel prince, she discovered that he saw her only as a pawn in his bid for power.
She later learned that the people behind her mother’s murder and her maternal family’s destruction were connected to a sacred relic. The relic then led to the extermination of Wu Xi’er’s entire family. She grew stronger and stronger, step by step, setting out on the road to revenge and destroying everyone driven by greed and the pursuit of fame and fortune.
