A scheming, calculating prince fighting for the throne x a sweet and innocent commandery princess
Before meeting Xiao Si, Jiang Li was the most innocent and carefree princess in the imperial palace.
One day, out of compassion, she took Xiao Si in as her personal guard.
The palace staff all said, "That little guard by the princess's side is cold to everyone else, but he smiles whenever he sees her. It's obvious he has ulterior motives!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Li was too sheltered to take their words to heart.
Only in the end did she realize that all his kindness toward her had been for the sake of using her status to help him seize the throne. He really was as cunning and ruthless as his father, the emperor!
"To pierce the softest heart with the hardest sword. Xiao Si, that is so like you. After all we've been through, I want to ask you just one thing: did you ever have even the slightest bit of genuine affection for me?"
If she had another life, she would never bring him into the palace again...
He said, "If I can win my master's favor, what does it matter if we grow old together?"
Only later did she learn that she was nothing but a stepping stone to his rise to power...
