Knowing Tang

One-on-one, happy ending (The whole novel is already written, so it won't be abandoned)

Chu Zhitang first met Helian Jin at the Princess Royal's birthday banquet. Her stepmother had schemed to frame her, and by a twist of fate, she spent the night with him.

She met Helian Jin again outside the Princess Royal's manor. She had just climbed over the wall and was mistaken for someone with ulterior motives.

He pursued. She fled.

Helian Jin was cold and hard-hearted. Everyone in Qijing knew he was a decisive killer, the sharpest blade in the emperor's hand.

Chu Zhitang knew he wielded immense power and could decide whether someone lived or died with a single word. She wanted nothing to do with him and, before he discovered her identity, simply wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, an imperial decree ordered her to investigate a suspicious case in Qixi with him.

Only then did he realize he'd misunderstood her before and apologize for hurting her.

She also came to understand that this blade wasn't wielded indiscriminately.
