She was once the most honored crown princess of the Yun Zhao Kingdom, Ji Lingrong, whose grace set an example for the realm and whose beauty could rival mountains and rivers. Then, in a sudden upheaval, her own sister and childhood friend conspired to frame her for treason. A fire in the palace “killed” the former crown princess and burned away their sisterly bond.
She crawled out of the flames and went into hiding under an assumed name. After three years in the shadows, she was no longer a golden phoenix trapped behind palace walls. She had become Feng Qi, master of Tingyu Tower, the most mysterious intelligence organization in the martial world. She listened to the wind in teahouses and taverns, watched the rain fall amid the jianghu's feuds, and wove an invisible web with her delicate hands. It had quietly spread across the entire capital, Yun Jing, awaiting the moment to strike like thunder.
Then, on a rainy night, she rescued a stunning young man who had fled in panic while on his way into the palace: Yan Weining. He despised the golden cage that denied him freedom, not knowing that the cool, distant woman reaching out to him in his hour of need was the former crown prince he had once admired from afar and mourned when she died.
With the new emperor's selection of consorts imminent, Yan Weining's family planned to offer him as a gift to secure their power. With nowhere else to turn, he fled to her side.
In the dimly lit secret chamber, she ran a finger over the names of her enemies in the intelligence files, then looked up at him with a coldly amused smile.
“What a coincidence.”
“I happen to be looking for an accomplice... to assassinate the emperor.”
I like Jiang Xiaoqing so much. I think the plot is very interesting and the characters are very vivid. The author should update it soon [please update]
There's something a little different about this novel about women! It's not a simple gender change, and there's no so-called "daddy flavor". This is what I like most (female gender advantages are not to suppress men, but to achieve great things based on their advantages)! It's not brainless. The heroine in the Machiavellian plot is not "reckless" purely relying on power. Even in the process of revenge, she is thinking about the "benevolence" of the king. Of course, she is also learning the "power" of the king later on, which has many aspects; "I really enjoy the fruits accumulated by the family, so I need to bear the responsibility", but at the same time "this enjoyment cannot be chosen", the sourness of the conflict between the two is direct and clear; the most anticipated emotional line I hope will come in the future (1v1 makes me look forward to it). At present, both of them are very clear about their respective positions and the difficulties that the other may have, and I am looking forward to how they will walk side by side in the future! Damn, can you suddenly update a hundred chapters to scare me to death and make me stay up all night 😳
The author's wife's writing style is very good and her writing angle is relatively novel. It's worth watching [Blowing Kisses]
The author's writing skills are so good, the characters are vividly drawn, and he listens carefully to the readers' opinions.
I haven't read it yet, but I think I like it based on the reviews, so I'll give it a five-star rating first.
The plot is exciting and the heroine is well portrayed!!!
