Lu Zhaoning is the legitimate daughter of the King of Zhenbei and the commander of the secret guards of the late Emperor Mipei. She is in charge of secret spies in the world.
Shen Yanzhi was the pawn she single-handedly helped rise to the position of prime minister—sick, obedient, and obedient to her words.
So she got married.
Marry happily, marry as a matter of course. Above the court, she was the thorny noble girl who was given a marriage; below the court, he was her chess piece placed at the most critical position.
On the night of her wedding, she sat beside her wedding bed, thinking about how to use this identity to continue her plans.
But he suddenly spoke——
"Don't bother, ma'am."
Lu Zhaoning raised his eyes.
Under the candlelight, the "sick" prime minister slowly took off his robe, revealing the secret guard token on his waist that she was all too familiar with.
"The thirty-two people my wife has placed in the Prime Minister's Mansion," he said, "were all selected by me personally."
Lu Zhaoning's pupils shrank suddenly.
He smiled slightly, his eyes clear as a patient.
"I forgot to tell Madam - the letter your father asked someone to bring out before his death three years ago was for me."
---
I thought he was a pawn.
He thought he was acting.
Little did he know that the first piece in this chess game had already been lost on that snowy night fifteen years ago.
