Everyone in the capital knows that the regent, Xiao Jingyan, wields power over the entire government and is ruthless, and is a feared "treacherous minister."
Shen Qingqiu, the orphan girl of the Shen family, is a weak and helpless cousin who is dependent on others.
When they first met, he was a hunter aloof, and she was a bird in a cage waiting to be slaughtered.
He suspected that her identity was unknown and set up traps everywhere; she hated his overwhelming power and sharpened her sword secretly.
Until that night when the palace changed, she blocked the fatal sword for him, and he slaughtered all the enemies in the city for her.
The mask shatters and the truth is revealed——
It turns out that she is the frightening top killer "Ying Qi" in the world. She is responsible for the murder of her entire family, just to find out the truth about the Shen family's collusion with the enemy.
It turns out that he is a lonely minister who endures humiliation and bears the reputation of patricide, just to clean up a decadent family and restore clarity to the world.
"Shen Qingqiu, this court is a huge prison, and you and I are both trapped animals."
"Jamel Xiao, if this is a prison cage, then I will accompany you to tear this cage apart."
From mutual use to fighting side by side, from suspicion and precaution to life and death dependence.
When the layers of conspiracy between the imperial power and the aristocratic family are peeled off, when love and hate are intertwined in blood.
He thought he was inviting you into a trap, calculating every move she made.
Little did he know that as early as the first moment his heart fluttered, he was already willing to fall into her gentle trap and be doomed.
