A mad big bad wolf x a gentle, wicked rabbit
By imperial decree, Jiang Jinyue finally becomes the crown princess, a woman of exalted status.
Nobody knows that this is the result of years of careful planning on her part.
On her wedding day, Jiang Jinyue is triumphant.
But the next moment, a ghostly thief slips into the bridal chamber and corners her, forcing her into the corner of the bed. Jiang Jinyue trembles, trying to stay calm as she bargains: “Let me go, and you can have any high office or riches you want.”
The thief laughs scornfully and delivers his verdict: “What are high office and riches compared to the crown princess...”
On their wedding night, the crown prince is dead drunk, while the crown princess shares the newlywed bed with a thief.
Before Li Xi met Jiang Jinyue, he was a poor wretch who never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, and was often beaten.
Once, a group of people beat him until both his legs were broken. As blood pooled around him and he lay close to death, Jiang Jinyue saved him, like Guanyin herself.
So he hid his dark and bitter side and began worshipping Guanyin, just like the common people.
Just as he thought the Guanyin he looked up to could drive away the darkness in his life, he accidentally discovered that his salvation had been nothing more than a scheme she'd devised to build her own image.
So he tore off that hypocritical Guanyin mask with his own hands...
