Synopsis

Candlelight illuminated the man's handsome profile. His fingertips traced the brows that resembled those of someone she had once known, seven parts out of ten. “From today on, you are the sharpest blade in our hands.”

He taught her to read and write, read people's hearts, use poison, and wield power, carefully shaping her into a pawn to be placed at the emperor's side. She helped him maneuver among the harem and the court, while he paved her road to power. Only when a dagger flashed before the imperial bed did she realize the player had entered the game long ago.

“Xie Wujiu, when you saved me back then, was it to repay a debt of gratitude, or to take revenge?”

“Qingtan, in this palace, gratitude and revenge are one and the same.”
