Wang Er Yan is a princess of the Northern Kingdom. On New Year's Eve, as snow fell, her fiance betrayed her, murdered her entire family, and seized the kingdom.
“You are talented, and you have a lot to offer. But marrying you would take too long. Killing you all is much more satisfying.”
The kingdom changed hands, and her loved ones died before her eyes.
“A ruler's foremost duty is to the people. Even if the land changes hands, if the people can live in peace... perhaps that, too, is a comfort.” The final words her father left behind were her only reason to keep going.
So she and her childhood friend passed the civil service exam and entered the court! They would find out whether the new emperor was human or monster!
The people lived in peace and prosperity! The nation flourished!
But what about the revenge she owed for her family's slaughter?!
