[Marriage first, love later + strong alliances + ultimate pulling + male protagonist's self-strategy + slap in the face and counterattack + sober heroine]
In the Dayan Kingdom, the trend of doting on concubines and destroying wives began with the emperor and spread to both the government and the public. Su Wanning, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, suffered a tragic death from her biological mother and was treated as a doted concubine for half her life, but she was born with a naturally charming and beautiful body - that was her life-threatening charm and her last bargaining chip.
She was treated as a disposable pawn by her biological father and married to the rumored cold-blooded and ruthless Prince Xiao Jue of Zhenbei Prince. He didn't even drink a glass of wine on their wedding night, so he regarded her as a shield. In this Kyoto where imperial power and aristocratic families are intertwined, and cannibalism is a common practice in doting concubines and killing wives, she knows that not fighting will mean death. When the emperor forced the white lotus and thin horse into the palace, and when the family's conspiracy forced her into a desperate situation, she shed her disguise and revealed her charming character and vicious plot. From sword players who exploited each other to chess players who depended on each other for life and death, she used her strategy and body to capture this proud living king of hell. When the world was in chaos, she took tens of thousands of gold and an intelligence network to guard the rear, waiting for him to return from the bloody battle, and promised her to be together for the rest of her life.
