Neither realizes that from the moment they met, they were engaged in a match between equals, a battle of wits at the highest level. What happens when the Chancellor discovers his beloved wife's secret identities outnumber his official reports, and Lin Wei discovers her husband's secret identities run even deeper than her own? A thrilling tale of disguises, tests, conquest, and redemption now begins.
