Better to Be a Concubine

“Deal. But on one condition: don't fall in love with me.”

She is the daughter of a Grand Tutor from the previous dynasty and the sole survivor of a massacre that wiped out her family.

She is the hidden master of Zhiwei Pavilion, the top intelligence network in the martial world, and the hand guiding the world's game of chess.

And now, she is a concubine at the mercy of the Regent.

Three identities, each one both a disguise and the truth.

She walked into his world of her own accord, not for love, but for revenge.

But she never expected that the Regent, who trusted no one, would lower his guard for her alone.

When he can't sleep at night, he'll drink only the soup she makes.

At court, he'll stand against the entire assembly of ministers for her.

Even after learning that she had deceived him about everything, he'll still say, “I trust you.”

When the vengeance for her father's murder comes between them, should she keep using him, or stay by his side?

And will he choose the realm, or her?

They spent their lives calculating every move, yet somehow never saw love coming.
