The Four Seasons of the Palace Gates

The palace gates hold a bridal selection, and ten sedan chairs head into the mountains. Everyone thinks it’s a chance to marry into wealth and status, but they don’t know Yin Lingxi is the young mistress of the jianghu’s greatest intelligence network. She comes to uncover the truth behind her family’s massacre, only to find herself matched against Gong Shangjue, the cold and keen-eyed master of the Jue Palace. As they cautiously maneuver against each other, he is the first to fall in love. Shangguan Qian is afflicted with a Wufeng Gu poison and ordered to steal the palace’s greatest treasure, but she ends up in the fragrant halls of the Zhi Palace. The sharp-tongued, reclusive young master Gong Yuanzhi grips her wrist. “Only I can cure your poison.” Yun Weishan is a top assassin trained by Wufeng, and her very first mission is to kill the newly appointed Sword Wielder, Gong Ziyu. But when her blade touches his heart, he smiles and offers her a hand warmer. “Miss, it’s cold.” Meanwhile, the eldest daughter of the Shang Palace, Gong Zishang, is busy pursuing her cold-faced guard, Jin Fan. Love letters are tucked into her firearm blueprints, and the whole palace knows about their dramatic romance.
