A seductive, wealthy beauty of the capital x a cold-faced, fiercely loyal general
On her wedding day, Xie Shuying poisons her new husband, Qin Feng, Marquis of Dingyuan.
Then she is shot dead beside the bridal bed. Xie Shuying thinks she may have killed the wrong man.
When she opens her eyes again, she's in the same familiar room, surrounded by the same familiar faces.
Xie Shuying has to admit that Qin Feng is pretty hard to kill.
She touches the spot in her chest where an arrow pierced her heart. Good thing she's hard to kill, too.
Xie Shuying plays the helpless beauty to perfection: too weak to lift anything, too frail to bear a burden, and ready to shed a couple of tears at the slightest scratch.
She only meant to let Qin Feng's guard down. So why does this young general, once as cold as ice and barely capable of saying a word all day, come over to cling to her every time he sees her?
Xie Shuying struggles to lift her head from Qin Feng's embrace. Watching the secret report burn to ashes in the brazier, she silently starts to worry.
She may have overdone it. What should she do now?
