Xie Fuzhao, the Eldest Princess of Xuanhe, is the emperor's legitimate eldest daughter and the most highly ranked princess in the royal family. Yet she lives on the brink of death, with a life worse than that of an ordinary commoner.
The boldest thing she has ever done is offer herself to Lu Chen, the chief minister, a man as refined as an orchid and as bright as the wind and moon.
She stumbles into his arms, her slender fingers tugging at the dark brocade on his chest.
Trembling, she utters the words: "Please show me mercy, Chief Minister!"
Lu Chen, the chief minister, comes from a poor family and is exceptionally gifted. On the outside, he's a noble gentleman, a paragon of virtue. Inside, he's cold, callous, and ruthless.
For a man so restrained and self-disciplined, the only time he ever lost control was amid her sweet, repeated pleas for him to "show her mercy."
For Lu Chen, it took half a lifetime of backroom dealings to rise to the highest office. Yet all his years of plotting and scheming were no match for the slight furrow between her brows.
Her almond-shaped eyes glared at him in annoyance.
