[Both leads are chaste] [Painful romance] [Possessive love] [An intense push and pull]
“From beginning to end, I had only one purpose: to kill you.”
She is the sole survivor of the General Who Guards the Nation's household, and a blade steeped in poison.
To repay her master's kindness for saving her life, she willingly becomes a spy and infiltrates the imperial palace, intent on taking his life.
He is the cold-faced emperor everyone fears, yet he gives her all his tenderness.
She should hate him to the bone, but with every act of favoritism and salvation, she loses a little more of her heart.
Burdened by a blood feud, she has tried to strike several times, only to hesitate as she loses herself in his wholehearted devotion.
Only when her faith collapses does she realize that the master she has served for years is the one who planned everything from the start.
His kindness in raising her was a trap, her blood feud was part of a scheme, and only he was sincere.
With love and hatred impossible to reconcile, watch the deadly beauty in red turn the imperial realm upside down.
