[A power couple | What lies beneath the young master's mask?]
This story is complete. Thank you to every reader who stopped by!
One is a masked assassin; the other is a commandery princess with a mighty army at her disposal.
She is Song Zaiqing. To the world, she is a frail scholar and the eldest son of the Song family. In truth, she is the third-in-command of the Blood Moon Pavilion, an assassin organization. On her wedding night, she cuts her palm with a knife and fakes the bloodstain, determined to leave no evidence behind. Her mission is to infiltrate the princess's household, win her trust, and help her organization seize control of the military.
She is Ouyang Jing'er, the most esteemed commandery princess in the capital, blessed with both beauty and intelligence. She sees through the treacherous currents of court politics, and through the gentle facade of her new “husband.” She quietly lays a trap, intent on uncovering the truth beneath the mask.
And so begins a contest of schemes and emotions.
One tests; the other stays guarded. Over a bowl of lotus seed soup, a street-side disturbance, and a midnight “assassination,” their schemes against each other give rise to genuine affection and tenderness.
As secret orders from the Blood Moon Pavilion and court conspiracies close in at once, with the blade of truth at their throats, will they choose betrayal or fight back together?
In this game called “trust,” whoever falls first loses.
I don't need a reason to like it. I feel that some settings are quite novel 🤔 but I still feel that the stamina is not enough. For a new author, it is already very good. I look forward to the author's new tricks ~
