As everyone knows, Shen Hantang was the spy given by His Majesty to the Regent Xiao Yanzhi.
On the night of the wedding, with the red candle swaying, the man opened her hijab with a sword, the tip of the sword pressed against her chin, his eyes as cold as frost: "Tell me your mission, and I will keep your body intact."
She raised her eyes, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes. Instead, she smiled slightly, and gently put her fingertips on the sword: "Your Highness is joking. I have been ordered to marry you. Naturally, I will be your most peaceful princess. I will protect you, respect you, and love you until death."
He scoffed, and the whole capital was waiting to see how this puppet princess would reveal her true colors.
She would act with him, accompany him in his plans, stand side by side in the bloody storm, and deal with him in the turbulent times.
It wasn't until he risked his life to block the poisonous arrow for her that she realized that the son of the enemy she had vowed to kill didn't seem to be the real murderer.
When she finally found the key evidence and pieced together the shocking truth——
Xiao Yanzhi hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Hantang, that fire... I have been chasing it for ten years."
"Now, are you willing to join forces with me to recover the blood debt from the real culprit?"
——He thought he was marrying a chess piece, but he encountered the sharpest edge; she thought she was marrying an enemy, but she found her only ally.
