[Unhinged, possessive guardian war god x clearheaded, composed healer from the Valley of Medicine Kings | mutual scheming | wedding before a coffin | groveling to win her back]
Everyone in Chang'an knew that Marquis Chang Geng, Qi Chang Geng, was a death-defying madman.
For the woman he had loved and lost three years ago, he dared to prepare a bridal coffin and poisoned wine on the very day the emperor had arranged his wedding, choosing death over marrying the princess.
Only Mu Qingdai knew that this man's scheming nature was carved into his bones.
She accidentally trespassed into the marquis's residence and was publicly branded as a substitute.
He seized the opportunity and went along with the deception, marrying her before the coffin.
He thought he had everything under control and used her as a pawn to solve an old case.
Little did he know that she was the one making plans in secret.
Using the marquis's immense influence, she gradually uncovered a shocking secret that reached into the heart of the imperial court.
They baited each other from both sides, pushing each other to the limit. They were only pretending to play their parts, yet somehow they fell for each other when they shouldn't have.
Later, she uncovered the truth and decided to leave.
He held her tightly in his arms, eyes red as he growled,
"Mu Qingdai, now that you've entered this game, don't even think about leaving!"
