Falling in Love with the Chancellor of an Enemy Nation

Ling Su has a white moonlight in her heart: the Second Prince, who saved her in the frozen wilderness. For him, she was willing to throw herself off a cliff and die.

She was lucky enough to survive, only to arrive on the day of the Second Prince's wedding. He was marrying someone else.

Twelve years of devotion had been nothing but a joke.

She volunteered to take up a post guarding the northern frontier, with no set date for her return.

However, she discovered that the person who had risked his life to save her back then wasn't the Second Prince, Fu Jingyao, but...

Gradually, she began to understand.

Why had the treacherous minister, a man who had slaughtered countless people, jumped off the cliff with her, endured her blows and insults without retaliating, and saved her from danger time and again?

When she returned to the capital, she appeared before Fu Jingyao with a blade in hand. With one swing, she cut off his robe, severing their ties and their affection. "You dog."

"...Susu?"

Only then did he notice the person standing beside her. It was none other than the treacherous minister from the enemy kingdom.

Later, that minister massacred his way across the land and seized power. The tip of his tongue glided over the blood on his fingertip as he gazed deeply and affectionately at Ling Su, calling her name.

"Susu."

...So he was going for a ruler-and-minister pairing all along? How about falling in love with a beautiful, lovesick, and volatile treacherous minister?

1. CP: A high-born, ambitious, and utterly villainous minister × a cool-headed female general on the outside, bashful on the inside, who can go anywhere and do anything.

(The male lead is truly arrogant and lovesick, with plenty of flaws. His one redeeming quality is that he's fiercely protective. Hands on hips.)

2. The doomed male supporting character pursues her after it's too late, and both leads tear him apart.

3. The heroine is a bit of a lovesick fool and suffers early on, but later awakens her golden finger.

Theme: Love of country and vengeance. Is there a way to have both in this world?
