Everyone called her Kyoto's foremost beauty and greatest female scholar. Young men from noble families flocked to her, and handsome gentlemen looked up to her with adoration, convinced she was the most pure and flawless woman in the world.
Little did they know she was the sole survivor of the Su family's Luyuan estate, with a cold, unyielding heart forged amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood beneath her gentle exterior.
“Lord Xie, stop pursuing me. I am not the flawless beauty you believe me to be.”
1. A strikingly contrasting heroine: the foremost noblewoman in Kyoto on the surface, but ruthless and calculating within. She takes her beautiful mother with her as she rises to the top.
2. Everyone misunderstands her: the male lead and the noble families of the entire city are captivated by her “flawlessness,” but no one sees the bloody past hidden beneath her gentle exterior.
3. A layered, heart-wrenching romance with dual plot twists. A must-read.
