[Assassin transmigration + marriage before love + mutual devotion + equally strong leads + love grows over time]
[An assassin skilled in both medicine and poison x a scheming, sharp-tongued prince crippled by poison]
The day Shen Zhaoning returned to the capital, her stepmother told her to use the side gate.
She turned around, sat down at the pier, and ordered a pot of rough tea.
An hour later, the main gate of the Shen residence swung open.
Everyone in the household knew: the Fifth Miss, who had been raised at an estate for twelve years, was not to be trifled with.
What they didn't know was that she had another identity.
A name that struck terror into people's hearts: Jingzhe.
At the chrysanthemum banquet, her half-sister offered her an aphrodisiac tea. She turned the tables and made the people behind the scheme suffer the consequences themselves.
Later, an imperial decree ordered her to marry the crippled Prince Qi, supposedly to bring him good fortune.
The whole capital laughed: an abandoned daughter and a crippled prince, both defective, a perfect match.
On their wedding night, the man in the wheelchair looked at her with eyes as cold as knives. "I don't keep idlers."
She stuck a silver needle into his knee. "Funny. I don't serve useless men."
She cured the poison in his legs, and he shielded her from everyone's blades.
Commandery Princess Jiamin saw her as a rival in love. Before she could even act, Prince Qi declared, "Who do you think you are to criticize my wife?"
Later...
The crippled prince stood up.
Her stepmother fell to her knees.
At last, the whole capital understood: Fifth Miss Shen had never been the one to suffer a loss.
Someone asked what she really wanted.
She glanced at the man beside her. "At first, I only wanted to survive. But now, it's time for the capital's world to change."
