After transmigrating into the body of Xi Shi, Lin Wan only wants to survive.
History says she brought ruin to a kingdom, but no one knows that the imperial palace is a bottomless abyss. Ahead lies the increasingly sincere heart of King Fuchai of Wu; behind her is the bone-chilling scheming of King Goujian of Yue. One wrong step, and she will plunge into the depths.
She thought this was merely a cruel undercover mission, but her heart stirred when Fuchai defied the whole world for her. Then, in Goujian's obsessive gaze, she saw the fate of a pawn laid bare.
When the Gusu Terrace goes up in flames, and the plot built on sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall reaches its end, Lin Wan grips the plain silver hairpin that brought her here and turns away amid the frenzied stares of everyone around her.
This time, she will play neither the ruinous beauty nor the heroine of a legend. Love will be her blade, and intelligence her shield. Amid the ruins of this romance that could topple kingdoms, she will carve out her own freedom and fight for a world without limits.
An unconventional transmigration story / Not a love-struck heroine / The heroine stays clear-headed throughout / A sweet-and-angsty showdown between two male leads
Super nice, recommended, recommended
