[Scheming prince x beauty who plays the pig to eat the tiger]
Dual male leads, 1v1, equally matched, political intrigue, happy ending
Everyone knows that Prince Jing, Shen Jue, is as gentle as jade, yet skilled at manipulating the game of the world.
When he brought Yun Shu back to his residence, the young man had lost his family and was sickly and frail. Shen Jue saw him only as a tender kindness beyond the chessboard: delicate, easy to break, and deserving of being treasured.
Until an ambush on a rainy night left him trapped with no way out.
He turned, only to see the beauty he always shielded, the one who needed to be coaxed whenever he coughed up blood, wipe the blood from his fingertips and smile at him amid a mountain of corpses:
“Husband, you’re playing this game a little slowly.”
