A conspiracy ended in the execution of an entire family...
Song Qingwan and her elder sister switched identities, and she took her place as Lady Song in the imperial palace.
She offered her blood as a sacrifice and made herself the bait, forging herself into a blade of vengeance.
Song Qingwan was merely a pitiable pawn sacrificed to imperial power, while Mu Jin was nothing more than a handy dog raised by the emperor.
If everyone beneath imperial power is nothing but an ant, then she would flip the board!
“Eunuch Mu Jin, please be kind to me.”
“Since you’ve helped me, from now on you can only belong to me... Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind going down to hell with you.”
[A heroine who grows over the course of the story; morally complex and not chaste. Revenge ultimately means slaying the dragon. Romance included. The male lead is a real eunuch and utterly devoted to the heroine. Mutual salvation, finding warmth in each other. Don’t read if that’s not your thing.]
