The Prince Is Only Pretending to Be Foolish, While the Princess Consort Really Can Kill

[Cold-Faced Assassin Wife vs. Silly, Affectionate Prince Who Fights for Her] [Both Leads Are Strong] [Sweet Romance] [One-on-One, Happy Ending]

(Note: At first, they are only the eldest son and his wife. They later become the prince and princess consort.)

Tan is the top assassin in the Dark Pavilion. After ten years living by the blade, she's calm and ruthless, and sees the world as nothing but missions and survival.

Then, one day when she's seventeen, she receives a special assignment: to become a bride in someone else's place.

Under the identity of Xu Zhiyi, the missing daughter of the Minister of Personnel, she is to marry Rong Jue, the legitimate eldest son of Prince Jing's household, who has been mentally disabled for five years.

Her "foolish" husband is guileless and cheerful, acts on a whim, clings to her, and always takes her side. Little by little, she begins to feel warmth and finds herself reluctant to return to the Dark Pavilion.

But as time goes on, she senses something is amiss. How does her foolish husband always manage to protect her in ways she never expects?

Is he pretending to be foolish, or is he really a fool?

They go from testing one another to standing side by side.

She uncovers the truth for him and helps him reclaim his identity.

He helps her break free of her chains and brings down the Dark Pavilion.
