The Poison Princess Strikes Back

As the daughter of a discarded empress, she barely survived. Now she has decided to do whatever it takes to stay alive and carry out her duty as a poisonous princess.

Devoted man: "Just be with me. If you want to kill someone, I'll hand you the knife. How about it?"

Princess: "Get lost, liar!"

Devoted man: "I want to marry you with all the proper rites and gifts, and lay myself at your feet."

Princess: "I've heard that from several people already! Get lost!"

Devoted man: "Who is the one you love?"

Princess: "I have just one requirement for the man I love: he must be able to withstand my poisonous cruelty!"

Also known as: "The Phoenix Sings in the Cold Palace"

A few notes:

1. This story is a slow burn, so take your time with it.

2. The male lead keeps his face half-hidden behind a pipa. You'll need binoculars and a magnifying glass to get a good look at him.

3. The heroine is scheming and two-faced, though she'll occasionally act cute later on.

4. Every scheme and plot is in service of bringing the leads together. Expect both angst and joy.

5. Unless something unexpected happens, updates will be daily and uninterrupted. Come on in, the story is guaranteed not to be abandoned!
