Book Two: The Revenge Arc
Twin sisters were separated when they were young. One grew up in a merchant family, while the other was trained as an assassin by a secret organization. When they met again after many years, one had married into the wealthiest family in Meiling as a bride meant to bring good fortune, while the other was heading north to the commandant's residence to gather evidence of crimes.
Both were dissatisfied with their current lives. After learning about each other's troubles, they decided to switch identities...
Luo Yu, the commandant of Beijiang Town, was ruthless, cold-hearted, and suspicious. In the eyes of foreign enemies, he was the toughest foe to deal with. To the imperial court, he was a menace who had occupied a strategic region for years and amassed troops under his own command. Many wanted him dead, but no one had ever managed it.
One day, he received an intelligence report and discovered that his page looked exactly like the assassin in a portrait. But the page was so delicate and soft that she didn't seem like an assassin at all. He tested her in every way, then finally tore off her disguise and forced her onto the bed. "If you're not an assassin, then from now on, you'll be my woman!"...
Zuo Zongbao, the only son of Meiling's wealthiest family, was nearly twenty, lazy and good for nothing. He had a handsome face, but a terrible reputation. At some point, he had also contracted a strange illness and become bedridden. Rumors said he had a venereal disease. The Zuo family's matriarch worried herself sick over him, and in the end, had no choice but to spend a fortune on a bride to bring him good luck.
When the Zuo family's matriarch heard that the Wu family's adopted daughter was peerless in appearance, temperament, and talent, she paid handsomely to bring her home as her grandson's bride. But after the wedding, they discovered that this bride was nothing like the one in the rumors. She knew nothing of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. Instead, she was a skilled martial artist who kept the Zuo family's rebellious son thoroughly in line.
One day, a servant came back and said that the young madam had met a handsome man in private outside, under the pretext of sparring, and that the two had even been physically intimate. Zuo Zongbao flew into a rage and shouted toward the bedroom in a hoarse voice, "You're a married woman, and yet you're meeting another man in secret! Do you even have any respect for me, your husband? You're so unfaithful..."
Before he could finish, Wu Xiyue stepped out of the room, one hand clenched into a fist and the other on her hip. She stood in the courtyard. "I'm what?"
Zuo Zongbao's voice immediately dropped several octaves. He backed away, leaning against the wall, sweat breaking out on his forehead. "You're... you're n-not, n-n-n-not, n-n-n-n-not..."
