(A two-faced Southern Border poison-wielding woman × a cold, unhinged powerful official)
She came to Anyang seeking medical treatment, only to be abducted by kidnappers from the start. Then, for no apparent reason, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review summoned her to the government offices for tea.
Fortunately, she was eventually cleared of suspicion and released, but it seemed she'd become entangled in an even bigger plot.
Luckily, Ning Qingjun has two basic principles in life:
First, keep your head down. When in doubt, lie low. She is determined to be the most cautious person in the world.
Second, latch onto someone powerful. Though her true form is blessed with dragon energy and her mastery of poison arts is unparalleled, she is still just a frail Southern Border poison-wielding woman who couldn't hurt a fly, and she needs someone to protect her, doesn't she? (Not to take a bullet for her.)
Naturally, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who calls himself “Little Official,” became the person Ning Qingjun wanted to latch onto.
But why are you getting so clingy, Minister? I haven't even used poison on you. Aren't you supposed to be a cold, unhinged powerful official? Get a grip! You can't break character!
Ning Qingjun thought he'd changed his ways, until one day she saw Pei Zhi with blood on his sword, bodies strewn all around his feet. Smiling, he asked, “Qingqing, do you love me?”
Ning Qingjun: ⊙﹏⊙∥
(A heroine who grows over time + plot-focused + mutual devotion)
(The story focuses on the plot, with cases to solve and supernatural elements.
The romance develops slowly.
The heroine grows stronger step by step. She isn't overpowered from the start; at first, she may be a little slow to catch on, and her abilities aren't very strong. Later, she becomes a powerful leading woman, and the two leads are evenly matched.)
