[Seemingly Delicate but Ruthless Noblewoman X Seemingly Cold but Devoted Imperial Guard]
Blurb:
When Su Qianhua was ten, her entire family was hunted down. She accidentally fell off a cliff, but was fortunately rescued by the Chancellor and adopted as his daughter.
Her adoptive father later arranged a marriage for her to Shen Molin, Commander of the Imperial Guard.
He told her that Shen Molin, the peerless martial artist whose name struck fear into the hearts of assassins across the martial world, was the very culprit who had destroyed her family. If she wanted revenge, the only way was to get close to him and become his wife.
Su Qianhua agreed.
Two months later, dressed in a phoenix crown and red wedding robes, with a dagger hidden in her sleeve, she rode in a bridal sedan chair to the Shen residence.
**
Shen Molin had been secretly in love for years with the girl of peerless beauty. He studied and trained in martial arts for over a decade, all so that one day he might be worthy of her.
After joining the Imperial Guard, he used his position to finally find news of the woman he loved.
Beneath the red wedding candles, the bridal curtains slowly fell. His gaze was so tender it was almost humble as he told her everything he knew about what had happened back then.
"I'll teach you how to investigate the case and help you find the people who destroyed your family."
But Su Qianhua's gaze turned icy. She suddenly pulled out a dagger and plunged it toward his heart. "As if I'd believe you!"
Shen Molin reacted swiftly, gripping the hand holding the knife and turning its blade to slice open the clasp of her wedding robe.
Looking at her tear-filled eyes, he smiled faintly. "You can't beat me, Madam. We can discuss the investigation tomorrow. Tonight, let's get married first."
[Extra Scene]
Ever since their wedding, Su Qianhua had only one thing on her mind: killing Shen Molin.
Unfortunately, Shen Molin was too strong. She had tried dozens of times, using poison, ambushes, traps, and more, but nothing worked.
When she was fretting over it, Shen Molin presented her with a tray holding a dagger, poisoned wine, and a white silk cord.
"I'll teach you how to investigate cases. Each time you master a lesson, you can try to kill me once. If you still haven't succeeded after a hundred tries, I'll let you do as you please."
Su Qianhua paused, picked up the dagger, and looked at Shen Molin.
Shen Molin said, "A dagger works best if you slit the throat. It has a high success rate, but blood will splatter all over you, and you won't be able to escape."
Su Qianhua put down the dagger and reached for the poisoned wine.
Shen Molin said, "Women are often the ones who use poison. This wine contains a strangling poison, but if you drink a bowl of vinegar in time, you can still be saved."
Su Qianhua frowned and grabbed the white silk cord.
Shen Molin said, "Strangling someone takes a great deal of strength. As a woman, you might not manage it, and you could hurt your hands and leave evidence."
Su Qianhua sniffled. "I can't keep studying..."
"Don't cry..." Shen Molin panicked.
Su Qianhua knitted her brows, suddenly snatched the dagger from the tray, and stabbed toward his heart. "That's called catching you off guard!"
Shen Molin pulled the retractable dagger out and smiled calmly. "That's called being ready for anything!"
