1v1
Nie Shiw is one tough woman.
To save her older sister, who was trapped in a brothel, she dares to tear down wanted notices and take on deadly escort jobs, all to earn enough money to buy her sister's freedom.
But when the brothel madam turns against her, she finally understands: in this world, power is more useful than money.
So she dives headfirst into the Ministry of Justice, becomes a female constable, and quietly sets her heart on Zhao Wuji, the current prime minister.
Should she tempt him with her beauty, or use her kindness to put him under an obligation? She hesitates, wanting only to borrow one thing from him: power.
She expects a merciless response, but the prime minister, whose influence dominates the court, does not humiliate her. Instead, he lays his plans step by step and draws her into his trap.
He has never said the word "love," yet whenever she puts herself in danger, he silently clears the thorns from her path.
Unable to resist his quiet devotion, Nie Shiw finally asks:
"My lord, you scheme and plan at every turn. Aren't you afraid that one day your hopes will go unfulfilled, and all your efforts will come to nothing?"
But the man, as unyielding as iron, answers with calm eyes and unshakable resolve:
"Love is freely given, and I have no regrets. Even if the ending is imperfect, I will not change my mind."
