The Tyrant Doesn't Know His Beloved Is the Villain

Mu Shangzhi, the Prince of Beiliang, was betrayed by his trusted aide and lost a battle. Badly wounded and with both legs broken, he was rescued in the deep mountains by Wen Heqing, a delicate young woman? who had gone out to feed the chickens.

Wen Heqing was wearing a plain pink dress that day, and with that devastatingly beautiful face, it was easy to mistake his gender.

But he took advantage of having rescued Mu Shangzhi to order him around as he pleased: feed the chickens, catch fish, steal peaches, and even massage his legs.

He pretended to be too frail to stand and fooled people all the time.

Mu Shangzhi saw how pale Wen Heqing looked as he coughed, and couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.

This guy, Mu Shangzhi, was actually the Prince of Beiliang, the man whose head the martial world had put out a bounty on.

He’d only wanted to find a wealthy family and become a laid-back prince consort. Now he’d been dressing as a woman and pretending to be weak.

.

One night, Mu Shangzhi saw Wen Heqing, who was always so fragile and delicate, draw his sword and kill one of Mu Shangzhi’s trusted subordinates.

“Zhizhi, don’t be scared, okay? Auntie just killed someone.”

“...”

The Prince of Beiliang never imagined that the woman he cherished and doted on was the infamous demon who killed without blinking.

Mu Shangzhi: I brought the man who wants to kill me home and made him the apple of my eye?

Wen Heqing pulled his clothes open: Hehe, I’m a man, too.

Mu Shangzhi: ...
