Original writing is hard work, so please do not pirate it.] Nan Feng has always been a junior constable in the remote town of Yong'an. Every day, she catches thieves and handles paperwork. As for Prince Ning, Nan Feng has only ever heard people mention him in their idle chatter over tea. They say this prince is ruthless and shrewd, commanding the Great Ye dynasty's most elite cavalry, the Black Armor Army. He has fought countless battles and earned great military honors, striking fear into all the neighboring kingdoms. Most notably, he is a woman. Sadly, he was gravely injured while saving the current emperor years ago, and the injury left him chronically ill. But when Nan Feng finally meets this prince... Aside from being sickly, what about the woman before her suggests that she is the Prince Ning who inspires such terror? Nan Feng has serious doubts. If anyone in the world could be said to have a face that misleads people, it would be Prince Ning, Jun Wan. At first glance, Jun Wan hardly looks like a soldier who has spent years on the battlefield. On the contrary, she is graceful and beautiful, every frown and smile making her seem like a celestial maiden who has stepped out of a painting. Who would have thought that behind such a delicate appearance lies a ruthless, cruel political schemer, an executioner who clears every obstacle from the emperor's path? Jun Wan had thought her heart was as cold as iron, but she never imagined... The junior constable from Yong'an whom she had used would gradually make his way into her heart, leaving her nowhere to hide. [Things to know] 1. An alternate history setting.
