[Unflappable, adorably cold-faced heroine with overwhelming martial prowess × the pampered but no-nonsense second young master of a marquis's household]
The emperor is gravely ill and will choose his heir by means of a jade bead.
The Prince of Kang's faction and the First Prince's faction vie for the precious bead, both openly and behind the scenes. Far away in Duanzhou, the loyal and righteous Marquis's household is suspected of possessing it, and everyone in the residence is slaughtered.
The heir to the marquis's title goes missing. The second young master, Shen Ping'e, is luckily rescued by the chivalrous Ren He, who is delivering a message on behalf of her adoptive father. He resolves to embark on an irrevocable journey of vengeance for his family...
A devoted, mutually faithful couple, sweet romance. The revenge story is not a wish-fulfillment romp, and there is no golden finger.
This is not a wish-fulfillment story! This is not a wish-fulfillment story! This is not a wish-fulfillment story!
Plot-driven! Slow-burn romance!
