She was the Xie family's blade for eight years. Her mission this time: kill the Regent of Beidi.

The poisoned wine was served. The man glanced at it through the candlelight.

"Rat poison mixed with arsenic. The Xie family gets stingier every year."

Her mission failed. She should have been sent back to the assassin camp and executed. The man wiped her blade and spoke leisurely:

"Make a deal with me. You investigate your own enemy, and the person I'm after is at the end of the same trail."

Everyone said the Xie family's blade had slept with the Regent.

Only she knew which of them had fallen in love first.

"Your Highness, how are we settling this debt?"
