[Playing Dumb] [Hunted] [Substitute Bride] [Revenge] [Matched in Strength] [Sweet Romance]
At four years old, she witnessed her mother’s brutal death. She pretended to be a fool to survive, but her stepmother and half-sister conspired to frame her and push her off a cliff.
Rescued by a mysterious master, she endured years of hellish training and emerged transformed, skilled in both the literary and martial arts, waiting only for her chance at revenge.
But when she finally returns, she is forced to take another woman’s place and marry the brutal regent.
On their wedding night, she presses a blade to the regent’s throat. “Your Highness, how about we work together?”
To her surprise, he slowly raises his eyes, his gaze dark with amusement. “My apprentice, I’ve been waiting a long time for this day.”
“What if I kill someone?” “I’ll hand you the knife.” “What if I set a fire?” “I’ll fan the flames.”
He says, “Whatever you want to do in this world, I’ll take care of the consequences for you.”
