One scheme, one reckless night. Wu Jing, the "young master" of the Marquis Wu household, wandered into a private room and slept with Jin Yunyan, the Regent Prince famed for his ruthless decisiveness and lack of interest in women. Afterward, she pulled up her pants and fled, leaving behind only a jade clasp engraved with the character "Jing."
The next day, the capital erupted. By imperial decree, the Regent Prince searched the entire city for his bride. He combed through the daughters of noble families and their maids, only to uncover a shocking secret: the "woman" who had dared to bite him and run was none other than the brash, two-fisted "Young Master Wu" from the Ministry of War!
To force her to take responsibility, the scheming Regent Prince pressed her at every turn: he investigated cases and stuffed orders into her hands, sent hidden guards when she was in danger, and even deigned to mend her bed curtains. Wu Jing gritted her teeth and held firm. She changed her soap, hid in military camps, and pretended to be ill, but the more she tried to escape, the deeper she fell into the carefully woven web around her.
From corruption in the Ministry of War to power struggles at court, the two fought and loved their way forward, joining forces to take on the Empress Dowager, eliminate treacherous ministers, and pacify the northern frontier. When she stood in court dressed in red, radiant and dazzling, he finally revealed before everyone the love he had been plotting for so long: "From that night on, I never intended to let you escape."
"In this life, you are the only one I want."
"Then get ready to let me have you wrapped around my finger for the rest of your life."
