Cool, gentle, refined young lady from a distinguished family x young god of slaughter whose achievements make the throne tremble
After a great victory on the border, Xie Heng returned in triumph, and the emperor publicly arranged his marriage to the legitimate daughter of the Yu family.
The whole city said they were a match made in heaven, a perfect pairing of literary and martial talent.
On the night she married Xie Heng, Yu Tingwan hid a poison-coated hairpin in her sleeve.
He was a fiend whose achievements threatened the throne; she was a tribute bearing her family’s secret.
Their marriage began with schemes and calculations, but at some point, its nature changed. He was willing to lay down his armor to do her makeup, and she dared to take up her brush and help him shape the world.
Later, in the golden hall, he bent down to pick up the jade hairpin she had dropped and chuckled. “My lady, you dropped your ‘weapon.’”
