I was betrothed to an easygoing prince, and all of the capital laughed at the merchant’s daughter who had landed herself a lofty match.
On our wedding day, we laid our cards on the table: he wanted my mountains of gold and silver as a safety net, while I wanted to use his princely status to do business.
I thought it would be a deal where we each got what we wanted, but before long, we were swept into a raging storm.
Pirates hijacking ships, guards poisoned, a night raid on the imperial estate... Behind each incident, the hidden hand was in the inner palace, and our opponent turned out to be his own brother!
So much for a partnership where we both win. How did it turn into sharing life and death?
He carefully maneuvers through court politics, while I strike at the heart of the business world. See how this “paper” couple joins forces to stir up the capital and topple the mastermind behind it all!
