Poisoned by an arrow through the heart, I opened my eyes again and found myself transformed from Lord Zhu, a powerful court official, back into the notorious, domineering legitimate daughter of the Chancellor’s household.
In my previous life, I disguised myself as a man and carefully navigated the bloody court, only to die by a stray arrow.
This time, I decided to live differently. I’d revel in my status as a legitimate daughter, tear apart every scheming green tea, and, while I was at it… send my old enemies to hell one by one.
Then, on the night of a palace banquet, the ruthless Prince of the Northern Frontier cornered me against a wall.
His fingertip traced my throat, his breath scorching. “Lord Zhu, your Adam’s apple… why doesn’t it look quite like a man’s?”
I went ice-cold, but he gave a low laugh. “Your secret has piqued my interest.”
Later, turmoil rocked the court and conspiracies mounted.
We were enemies and allies, testing each other across a chessboard of power, yet unable to resist drawing closer.
Until I tore away the truth beneath her black royal robes with my own hands…
It turned out that the all-powerful Prince of the Northern Frontier was a woman too.
“Zhu Wutong,” she said, pinning me before the imperial throne, her eyes dark with intent. “How about you and I divide this realm between us and rule it together?”
