He is the powerful chief minister who controls the court, and the true mastermind pulling the strings behind the black market.
In the Golden Throne Hall, she points a slender finger and demands that he marry her in front of everyone. He counters, “Your servant brings misfortune to his wives,” only for her to turn the tables on him.
On their wedding night, both their secret identities are exposed at once.
She thought she was the one wooing the chief minister, never realizing she'd already fallen into his inescapable web.
A deadly chill has invaded his bones, and he won't live past thirty.
Her pure-yang inner power is his only salvation.
As political storms rage, Northern Di cavalry advance, and noble families turn the tables, they face every crisis together and break every taboo together.

He kisses her fingertips, his voice husky. “Then I'll bring the whole world to its knees, and hold you in my arms.”

Political schemes are the game, their true feelings the wager.
In this life, she pursued him first, but in the end, he was the first to fall.
