[A ruthless, decisive, rational, and quick-witted heroine x a suspicious, sinister, cold-hearted hero]
[Jiang Xiuying x Chen Zhui]
Chen Zhui, Prince of Pingyang, was aloof and solitary from childhood. The only bright spot in his dark life was Jiang Xiuying, the daughter of a female slave. Two people crushed by fate pledged themselves to each other in blood, becoming one another's sole support in the prison of the imperial palace.
A coming-of-age ceremony and a corpse exposed the filthy secrets beneath Luoyang's glittering surface, igniting a wildfire that would consume the throne.
The realm is in turmoil, the emperor is near death, eunuchs wield power, and noble clans scheme against one another.
Five years later, Chen Zhui crawls back from a mountain of corpses. The once-solitary prince has become a wolf of the frontier, while Jiang Xiuying dons armor and gazes at him from afar, with the flames of war blazing between them atop the city walls.
Reunited in Bingzhou, Jiang Xiuying makes her moves on the chessboard while Chen Zhui stakes his life. Two wild beasts scheme and snarl at each other, caught between calculation and sincerity.
In this deadly game of chess, who will be the final pawn sacrificed?
“Anyone who comes for us with a blade will die by ours.”

Maybe it's because we are in troubled times, and any plot or conspiracy will result in immediate death. No matter how exciting the story is, every scene is very strong and the plot is compact. Especially the little actions of the male and female protagonists together are very cute.
What kind of rebirth, time travel, internet novel that changes the soup without changing the dishes, the male protagonist is strategizing, and there is a white lotus female lead, I am tired of reading it. This kind of writing with clear logic, strong writing control and no pretentiousness is beautiful.
The plot of the story is twists and turns, and the characters are vivid and interesting.
Why is there no real audio book for such a beautiful book?!!!
The writing is very good, with a strong ancient style, the plot is not procrastinating, and the characters are well created, especially Jiang Xiuying, who has a very good character. The fighting scenes are also very detailed, I like them
It's a super good book, with a good plot and distinct characters. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is heart-wrenching, but the ending is already the best.
It's good-looking and has a rich literary background.
It's been a long time since I've read such an attractive book. The opening chapter is wonderful. I lost my loved ones and gained friendships in my youthful days! The years caress the two lonely hearts and gradually get closer
