Blurb
At seventeen, Wen Shuyao left the palace and married a taciturn hunter.
The hunter treated her well. He didn't say much, but he cherished her.
He did all the washing, cooking, hunting, and firewood gathering, and wouldn't even let her touch cold water.
Wen Shuyao was happy.
She thought she could be happy like this for the rest of her life.
But one day, her husband suddenly fell gravely ill and never woke up. To pay for his treatment, Wen Shuyao sold almost everything they owned.
He still didn't wake.
Later,
on a day of torrential rain,
she fell in the street, spilling her medicine. Caked in mud and aching from the fall, she suddenly wanted to sleep and never wake again.
At her most desperate moment,
a pair of black leather boots appeared before her.
The hem of a dry, crisp, dark blue robe fell beside her. She looked up into a pair of eyes devoid of emotion.
Behind him stood a group of shadowy guards and attendants, holding umbrellas that created a vast, clean patch of sky untouched by the rain.
It was the man she had once served closely in the palace.
The Crown Prince, second only to The Outcast and above all others.
The familiar yet strange man looked down at her.
His voice was calm and indifferent. "I can save him."
"If you'll divorce him."
An adorable young maid x a seemingly cold but secretly unhinged Crown Prince
And her taciturn, gravely ill hunter husband
