A cannibalistic plague has broken out in Weizhou. The infected have blood-red eyes and stiff, wooden necks. At the sound of a human voice, they erupt into violence; when they encounter people, they attack and devour them.
In her previous life, this was the very plague that robbed her of her glory and made her whole family serve the imperial court like dogs. In this life, anyone who serves the imperial court is a dog.
Having returned to the imperial court, Pei Zhaohui lives by one principle: “If you can't understand plain speech, I know a thing or two about fists.”
What if she's no good at political intrigue? Then she'll kidnap someone who is, and make sure it's the best one!
A high-martial, unruly military governor's daughter VS a gentle, kindhearted, truly honorable gentleman. An alternate Tang dynasty.

Coming soon! I'll start this after my last book is finished. I'm terrible at writing blurbs and haven't thought this one through yet, so I'll revise it once the book starts. Here's a possible trigger warning for now: The first volume has some elements of a low-budget ancient version of a zombie virus, but only in the first volume, as a small side story. If you don't like that element, please don't read!
Theme: Wield the blade to defend the Way.
