[Marriage first, love later / two equally powerful leads / play the pig to eat the tiger / secret identities]
Everyone thought Jiang He was an idiot.
Bound by a marriage contract, she was brought back to the capital to serve her fiancé's family like a beast of burden.
A year later, her fiancé passed the palace examination and became a top-ranked candidate, but wanted to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official instead, forcing Jiang He to lower her head and become his concubine.
Jiang He slapped him right back and tore up the marriage contract in front of everyone.
“What a coincidence. This young lady has been playing sweet and obedient, and I've only just grown tired of it.”
From then on, the capital gained a formidable Miss Jiang, ruthless in her methods.
She had so many secret identities that even the emperor couldn't figure out who she really was.
Her former fiancé, who once looked down on her, was consumed with regret. He knelt outside her door, crying and begging her to take him back.
A hand reached out from behind Jiang He and gently drew her into an embrace.
Xie Xun idly twirled a strand of her hair and looked up with a faint smile.
“She is so far above you now that you're not even worthy of looking up at her.”
When Jiang He first met Xie Xun, she thought he was an enemy-state spy, skilled at disguise and full of schemes.
Only later did she realize he was a frail, pitiful little strategist who couldn't live without her.
Until one day...
An envoy provokes them?
He shields her from the blade, despite his frailty!
A conspiracy unfolds?
He innocently turns the tables!
Wait...
Has something changed?
