After being reborn, Su Wantang tore up the script that had cast her as the Crown Princess.
She pushed her scheming, sweet-talking best friend into the position of Eldest Prince’s consort, then “accidentally” walked straight into the Ninth Imperial Uncle Xiao Xuanjin’s deadly trap.
He was the living King of Hell, feared by the entire court. She was a woman returned with a head full of schemes.
He laughed at her. “Miss Su, you can’t handle these treacherous waters.”
She shot back, “Ninth Imperial Uncle, this is a dead-end game. Why not let me bring it back to life?”
And so, the two least likely people to work together became the most dangerous of allies.
She used his power, and he used her schemes. Together, they set their trap and closed in step by step, until they personally laid the evidence against the Eldest Prince and the Crown Princess before the emperor.
When the dust settled, the Eldest Prince’s household fell and their enemies were punished.
At the victory banquet, he shed his ferocity and disguise, then gently placed in her palm the token representing all his power.
“Your revenge is complete,” he said, meeting her eyes, his voice low and clear. “Now it’s time to talk about us.”
From a game of life and death to partners for life.
