[Two Powerful Leads + Punishing Villains + A Touch of Court Intrigue + A Touch of Ensemble Cast + Nation and Family]
Qi Xingyun, daughter of a Duke, studied medicine on Yunlan Mountain from childhood. After coming of age, she returned to the capital, only to discover that everything had changed beyond recognition.
Her younger sister, whom she had doted on since childhood, now saw her as a thorn in her side.
Her elder sister married, and conspiracies at home began to surface.
All she wanted was to investigate the massacre that had wiped out her family years ago. Instead, she disrupted someone else's carefully laid plans and glimpsed the danger lurking beneath an age of prosperity.
In a turbulent world, who can find a place to stand? If there's no way to escape unscathed, then I'll overturn this whole game.
I'll be the one moving the pieces!
“Anyone this young lady wants to save, no one is allowed to let die.”
But she never expected the mastermind behind the plans to come looking for her of his own accord.
“What exactly are you plotting?”
“A plot? Your Highness, I merely want to survive.”
Later, the Zhao family of the capital fell, the Empress Dowager in the palace fell ill, and even Nan Yi descended into chaos... And that prince became her ally.
“Miss Qi, you'll be none the worse for being on my side.”
They met amid conspiracies, yet their encounter brought together the most sincere feelings in the world.
“Who in this world could be a better match for you than me?”
“Your Highness is certainly confident.”
The male and female leads join forces and advance together.
A story leaning toward two powerful leads, with a strong female protagonist. Plot-focused, set in an alternate history, so don't overthink the historical details.
Neither lead is a good person in the traditional sense.
“The capital is getting more and more chaotic.”
“Good. In troubled waters, you can fish for opportunity and kill whoever gets in your way.”
I'm no good at writing blurbs ´ᯅ`
