He Smiles, and My Knife Falls

Jiang Fuyue was born and raised on the frontier. In her sixteen years, she had never dreamed of the splendor of the capital.

One day, her father died when an old illness flared up again, leaving Fuyue an orphan. The clues in the belongings he left behind pointed straight to the prosperous capital, a thousand li away.

On her journey there, she happened upon a refined young prime minister of noble bearing.

Pointing to the painting her father had left her, the prime minister studied her and said, "The person in this painting is the Empress Dowager of Sheng."

And in the capital...

The gloomy, unpredictable commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard;

The Gao family, which had produced several generals in a single generation;

The immensely powerful Duke's mansion;

Prince An, who commanded half the military forces of the court;

The Empress Dowager, whose dance at the Moon Crossing Terrace had once captivated the entire city...

Everything pointed back to the year Jiang Fuyue was born, sixteen years ago.

Fu Xun was born and raised in the capital. At twenty-four, he had secured the position of prime minister, the second most powerful man in Sheng, as well as the title of the capital's most handsome man.

That year, a drought struck the south, and he was ordered to travel there. He never expected to meet a fair-skinned young girl who could leap across rooftops, wield a sword, do just about anything, and even blush shyly.

When they met again in the capital, she was following the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, her brows raised in delight.

He got to see that lively expression for the rest of his life, just as he had wished.

They say the prime minister is a smiling tiger who smiles at everyone, whether human or ghost?

Prime Minister: I'm not! I didn't! Don't you dare slander me!

Jiang Fuyue: Hmm... Am I the only one who thinks the prime minister is actually pretty gentle?

Everyone: ??? Yes, you're the only one.

Prime Minister: ^v^
