[A Crybaby Good-for-Nothing Beauty on the Surface VS The Cold-Faced Boss of a Band of Nighttime Bandits]
Chu Xining is the royal family's only daughter. By day, she's a spoiled good-for-nothing, doted on by her emperor uncle and her three princely cousins. Her reputation: she can't do anything right, but she's a champion at eating and causing trouble.
Then she discovers that someone is trying to poison her uncle and overthrow her family's dynasty!
The fiercely protective Princess Zhaoyue is furious. The throne belongs to her family! Anyone who dares reach for it will lose their hand!
[Court Intrigue by Day]
She keeps up her sweet, tearful act, tugging at her uncle's sleeve to tattle: “Uncle, they're bullying Ning'er!”
The villains breathe a sigh of relief: Thank goodness, she's just an airhead.
[Banditry by Night]
She whips out her “Scarlet Phoenix” mask and transforms overnight into a cold-blooded bandit, emptying the secret stashes of rebel factions and corrupt officials and nailing their account books to the yamen gates. She leaves a message: “Harm my family, and I'll send your entire clan to the grave.”
Just as she's having the time of her life, she stumbles upon a shocking conspiracy, and her identity is about to be exposed. Then the black-market lord who's been helping her dispose of stolen goods, the heir of a prince from another surname, corners her against a wall. Holding the earring she's dropped, he gives her a half-smile. “Princess, if you're putting on a show of regicide and rebellion, mind letting me join in?”
Watch the ultimate “well-connected” princess charm people by day and draw her blade by night, teaming up with a cunning prince to cut a bloody swath through the court!
