A heroine who is sweetly awkward and reserved in everyday life, but sharp and quick-witted in battle, paired with a suspicious, scheming prince who has to dress as a woman once a month to save his life
Abandoned after eloping, she turns around and marries a prince, joining forces with him to claim the realm.
Chu Rong owes a debt of gratitude to the general’s household. But to help Wu Jiang, the general’s son, escape his father’s control and pursue his dream of becoming a famous performer, she is willing to ruin her reputation and elope with him.
A year later, Wu Jiang has made his name, but he spends every day carousing with other women.
Heartbroken, Chu Rong hides her talents and disappears into the common streets, hoping only to earn a little money with her own skills and live in peace.
But her abilities are too impressive for the court to ignore. A secret order drags her back into the storm and sends her to Yaoguang, the “City of Pearls” deep in the desert.
With the path ahead unclear and danger lurking everywhere, she disguises herself as a man and meets a dazzling beauty with golden hair and blue eyes.
The beauty spins lies with ease and can turn any situation around with her silver tongue.
Chu Rong has peerless skills and kills without hesitation, protecting the beauty through one desperate situation after another.
One is a master of words, the other of action; one schemes, the other charges ahead. Together, they overcome danger at every turn, yet each thinks, “This person is dangerous! I’ll have to get rid of them.”
So the beauty sets out to seduce, beguile, and cling to Chu Rong;
Chu Rong tries to avoid and guard against the beauty, yet can’t help protecting her.
After a journey full of entanglements and tests, they finally reach Yaoguang. When Chu Rong bathes in a hot spring and washes away the dust,
the golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty suddenly vanishes. Through the billowing steam appears a stunning man with jet-black hair and eyes deep as an abyss... a beautiful man?!
Something is clearly amiss. They say in unison, “Anyone who’s seen my body has to die.”
