[A powerful heroine and an equally powerful hero, joining forces for revenge, loving and fighting each other]
A little romance along the way to revenge: Both virgins? ✓ Insane? ✓ Setting traps for each other? ✓ Flirting with each other? ✓ Hilarious, chaotic daily life? ✓ Palace and household intrigue? ✕ (They don't scheme against each other, but they do join forces to take down the tyrannical emperor!)
They're still an opposites-attract couple: she'll sabotage you without a second thought, but she'll think twice before doing something loving!
Pei Siyin × Xiao Chengyan. She's a commandery princess, and he's the crown prince. They grew up together, but now they conceal their identities and use each other to get revenge. They make a very convincing show of pretending not to be childhood friends.
What did the tyrannical emperor do?
Pei Siyin's father, Prince Duan, won countless military victories and was granted a princely title despite having no royal blood. But he was falsely accused of treason, and she was the only survivor of the entire princely household.
From then on, revenge was the only reason she stayed alive. She was determined to make the emperor pay!
The emperor poisoned Crown Prince Xiao Chengyan, blinding him in both eyes. Though blind, he still holds his position in the Eastern Palace. To keep himself from being poisoned any further, he decides to seize the throne!
One needs to restore her family's princely house, the other needs to claim the throne. With a common enemy to avenge themselves against, they hit it off at once.
Pei Siyin heals Xiao Chengyan's eyes, and Xiao Chengyan promises to restore her title as a commandery princess. But Pei Siyin insists on becoming a princess, and she wants to be empress, too!
Pei Siyin: “Even if I don't love you, will you still give me the position of empress?”
Just then, the truth about the old events at the princely estate is exposed at court. An even greater conspiracy unfolds, the enemy nation stirs, and undercurrents surge beneath the capital...
Watch how they face this predicament. Will they keep using each other, join hands and press forward, or turn their weapons against one another?
