A revenge-driven, darkened female assassin × a restrained male Jin Yiwei who is a substitute
Both leads are assassins. A bloody struggle across the martial world and the imperial court, where no one is innocent and every twist hides another scheme.
On our wedding day, his father slaughtered my entire family, staining my wedding dress red with blood. Three years later, I am the sharpest blade in the martial world, codenamed “Moon Enchantress,” while he has become a commander in the Imperial Brocade Guard. The moment we meet again, I press a dagger to his throat. “Wen Wenyu, how will you repay this blood debt?”
He gives a bitter smile, takes hold of my knife hand, and drives the blade into his own chest. “With my life. Is that enough?” I pull out the knife with a cold laugh and turn to lock him in a dungeon. Whippings, frost poison, humiliation: he accepts them all, asking only that I survive.
Until one snowy night on the northern frontier, he drags his ruined leg to take a fatal arrow for me. Blood soaks her trembling fingertips. “Shuang’er… If hating me keeps you alive, then hate me for the rest of your life.”
Wen Wenyu, do you think this can atone for your sins? Then why, when I watch you fall, does this heart that died long ago… still ache?
When the truth comes to light, the mastermind gives a soft laugh. “Look at you. Even your hatred was part of the game.”
As love and hate surge together with the river’s tide, whose chest will this bloodstained blade pierce in the end?
The author's writing is really good, the writing style is good, and the plot is not the usual routine. It meets my requirements for reading a book very much. Like it👍
