Xiao Lin had been cold and hard-hearted throughout his life, and never suffered an injustice under the sword - until he was ordered to marry the "sick and weak" seventh princess of the enemy country.
Under the red tent, she coughed up blood and fainted, and he left indifferently. This marriage was the most insignificant piece in his chess game.
Until that night, when he came back covered in blood, he saw the silver needle on her fingertips being withdrawn from the assassin's throat.
As the light flickered, she raised her eyes and smiled softly: "Husband, this time, I will protect you."
He is the sharpest sword in Emperor Dayin's hand, and he is willing to become a lonely minister in order to overturn old cases;
She is the blade carefully hidden in the deep palace of Nanchu, learning to play the role of a lamb to protect her younger brother.
A political marriage that began with calculation, two pretenders covered in secrets,
Within the high walls of the deep courtyard of the Princess Mansion, a tacit and fatal tango began.
"Xie Mingli, who are you?" He grabbed her wrist, an undercurrent welling up in his eyes.
"Master Xiao," she leaned close to his ear, her breath like orchid, "I am your ally, your weakness... Or maybe the person who subverts your game of chess."
When the war broke out in the north, a sudden coup took place in the capital.
The two people who were each other's pawns were forced to rely on each other for life and death, and then they were shocked to realize——
They have been looking for a common enemy for many years, and they have already hung their sharp swords on each other's necks.
And this thorny road to marriage has become the only moonlight that illuminates their respective darkness.
The two strong forces are at odds with each other → relying on each other for life and death → joining forces to break the situation
From "who dies first tonight" to "we grow together"
Let's look at the lonely minister and Princess Zangfeng in troubled times.
How to play the game together in a desperate situation,
Above the ruins, let's hope for the return of a beautiful moon.
(Double strength + Marriage first, love later + Two-way redemption + Machiavellian symbiosis)
