[Unhinged Strategist × Ice-Cold Female Schemer] Two formidable leads + sworn enemies + an extreme push and pull
At the end of the Great Yan dynasty, a powerful minister sparks chaos, and a princess flees south to claim the throne.
Nanyang sits at the strategic throat between north and south, coveted by numerous factions.
A mistakenly administered aphrodisiac sends Ji Shubai tumbling into bed with Shen Jie, her sworn enemy from a rival nation.
Afterward, she pulls on her pants and leaves. “Young Master Wei, you can’t hold your liquor. Don’t drink next time.”
He smiles, his foxlike eyes crinkling. “Young Master Yan is getting better and better at turning on people.”
Later, when Nanyang’s granaries are burned and the three armies face off, he pulls her against his chest.
“Lord Ji, shall we join forces?”
She arches a brow. “Are you proposing an alliance, Lord Shen?”
He bends close and whispers in her ear, “May the best one win.”
He advances step by step, seeking both the city and its ruler.
She gives not an inch, seeking both power and survival.
They say they’ll compete on equal terms, but their bodies tell a different story.
They distrust each other, yet can’t help drawing closer.
He says, “I want to spend every day and night with you.”
She says, “Let’s discuss state affairs, not personal feelings.”
Until she discovers she’s carrying his child
The alliance between Southern Yan and the Wei dynasty is on the verge of collapse.
The empress is furious and orders her back to Jiangdu.
The Wei emperor makes his move and sends him to the front line.
When family and affection are at stake, which matters more?
Unifying the realm is what they both want. As they play this game of power, will they join hands or destroy each other?
Two formidable leads in a political power struggle + extreme push and pull + careful maneuvering
The heroine is clear-headed and cautious; the hero is a smiling schemer.
Not an angst novel. Both leads are intelligent and never let themselves be wronged.
