Gentle blade × devoted subject | Rekindled love × subject steals his sovereign's wife
Lu Yuan once fell in love with someone.
He was a young assassin, badly wounded.
He was mean and flirtatious, reckless and lazy.
Every day, he came up with new ways to threaten her into hiding him while he recovered.
But he was also the one who sold the sword he treasured above all else, just to give her a string of hair ornaments.
In the end, though, Lu Yuan bought the sword back, then drove it into his chest.
So when Emperor Jingyuan forced her, a discarded empress, to seduce the newly returned Prince of Liaodong,
Lu Yuan felt that her comeuppance had arrived.
*
Prince Pei Xuanjing of Liaodong had just crushed a rebel army, his power and prestige at their height.
But no one knew that he had once been an assassin who hid in a young woman's boudoir, a secret that could never be brought into the light.
At the victory banquet, Emperor Jingyuan sent a young maid to pour Pei Xuanjing's wine.
Pei Xuanjing glanced at the maid attending him, his eyes unreadable.
The maid had rosy cheeks and peach-colored lips. As she poured the wine, a stretch of snow-white neck showed, and she looked perfectly obedient.
But only Pei Xuanjing knew how merciless that face had been when the girl toyed with him and then discarded him like trash.
It seemed, though, that she hadn't recognized her old lover.
She even wanted to... toy with him a second time.
Very well.
