Wei Guanqi, a rebel general from Nanyue and a lackey of the Liang Dynasty.
People say that the number of people who died at his hands could not be counted even by all the osmanthus blossoms in the city.
Gu Menghui, a county princess from a fallen kingdom and a bumbling spy.
She infiltrated the enemy camp with an important mission: steal intelligence and take his life.
But on the very first day of her mission, Wei Guanqi saw through her.
He didn't kill her. Instead, he kept her by his side and personally taught her how to be a spy.
She disguised herself carefully, certain that she had left no loose ends. He saw through everything, playing along with her in this high-stakes game where their lives were the wager.
Until the day she held a knife to his heart, her hand trembling so much she could barely hold on.
With red-rimmed eyes, she asked in a trembling voice, "You taught me to manipulate people's hearts and plan every step, but you never taught me... what to do when I fall in love with the enemy I'm supposed to kill."
He took her hand on the knife and pushed it forward half an inch.
"I taught you how to kill, too. Now..."
"You should put the knife in, not cry and ask me what to do."
(Set in an alternate-history world modeled on the Song Dynasty, with reference to the Song conquest of the Southern Tang. Please don't nitpick the history.)
