Su Jinghan, the 21st century's top assassin, was a master of weapons and ancient martial arts, and knew the secrets of peerless medicine and poison. But she was betrayed by her closest confidant and died in the flames of an explosion.
When she opened her eyes again, her soul had transmigrated into a cannon-fodder supporting character with the same name in an ancient romance novel: the eldest legitimate daughter of the Guanghou Manor.
The original girl had been branded a cursed, ill-fated child who brought misfortune to her family. Abandoned at a Taoist temple as a child, she scraped by until she came of age and returned to the manor. Every plot she hatched ended up helping someone else get ahead, and she met a miserable death.
Returning with an assassin's blade and peerless skills in medicine and poison, Su Jinghan sneered at fate and set out to change her destiny.
Schemes in the inner household, a hypocritical half-sister, cold-hearted family? She tears apart fake white lotuses, kicks black-hearted villains to the curb, and uses her ruthless skills to overturn the filthy schemes of the marquis's manor!
But just as her sharp edge begins to show, she catches the attention of the cold-faced regent who holds the court in his hand.
Xiao Jinci, the uncrowned emperor of the Great Qi, commands the battlefield and holds life and death in his hands at court.
He has walked through blood and fire, and sealed his heart after being wounded by love. Cold and aloof all his life, he trusts no one to love him truly.
Yet from the first moment he sees her, he falls for her to the depths of his soul, his obsession growing uncontrollably.
His eyes are veiled in frost, yet he grants her every indulgence. He holds the world in his hands, yet willingly sets aside his edge for her.
She wields her deadly skills and unmatched knowledge of medicine and poison to protect him. He rules the four seas, yet gives her all the land beneath heaven and every bit of his devotion.
