Wang Yuexi was the only daughter of a civil official in Lu City, Cao. She had thought she would live out her days in peace, cherished by her parents. But when Cao fell, her father died defending the city, and her mother, desperate to find a chance of survival, sent Yuexi to take refuge at her maternal uncle's residence in Xianlin City, Dai. As it turned out, the Jiang family had enemies on all sides and struggled to survive in this turbulent age. Not long after entering the household, Wang Yuexi was caught up in an assassination plot against the Jiangs. Amid the turmoil, she met Zhai Changfeng, heir to the King of Modun of Rong. Later, with the help of her cousin Jiang Li, the "God of Slaughter," she set out for the border to find her exiled mother. Using her wits, she escaped danger time and again, and became entangled in a love-hate affair with heir Zhai Changfeng, Jiang Li the God of Slaughter, and others...
She couldn't understand how Zhai Changfeng, cold-hearted and stone-faced, who had once shouted in Xianlin City that he would have her head shot with an arrow, could have changed so completely.
Zhai Changfeng: "Last time, you told me to leave, too."
"Aren't you afraid your cousin will find out and tear you limb from limb?"
Wang Yuexi: "Zhai Changfeng, let go of me! You lecher! You weren't like this before!"
Zhai Changfeng: "Oh? What was I like before?"
A fallen kingdom's orphan and a God of Slaughter general, caught in an intense push and pull with a scheming heir!
The story is very novel and interesting. I hope the author will create more interesting stories.
