Obsessive hero, rise to power! This kind of sweetness amid the angst is so compelling!

After completing her coming-of-age rites, Chu Shuoling was given the courtesy name Zhi Que.

She was the daughter of the Grand Princess, the only county princess ever enfeoffed by the imperial house, and blessed with every luxury.

The person she admired stroked the top of her head and gently said, "I'm sure you'll become an eagle one day."

But she couldn't fly away. One day, by imperial decree, she was married to a powerful minister she had never met.

She hated his hypocritical face and the ruthlessness with which he had clawed his way up from the bottom.

If she had to marry him, then she would use him to pave her way forward.

On their wedding day, Shen Qingzhi wore crimson robes and carried himself with the refinement of a nobleman. His face was as beautiful as jade, as if he had stepped out of a painting. After they married, he cared for her in every possible way, to the point of spoiling her. Everyone said he was an ideal husband and theirs was a love story to remember.

Only... whenever this good husband lowered his eyes, they were full of surging darkness.

As you scheme at every turn, how much of your heart is genuine?

Amid all this heartache, why are there tears in your eyes?

This is my first purely historical romance with angst. I hope you enjoy it!
