Hua Li was the daughter of the Grand Princess.

Born into privilege, she did as she pleased. There was nothing she couldn't get, and Shen Que was no exception.

After all, forcing people to do what she wanted was her specialty.

But on her wedding night, Hua Li suddenly remembered that Shen Que seemed to have killed her in her previous life.

.

Shen Que was an assassin.

During one mission, someone spotted him.

The moment their eyes met, the other person hurried away, leaving behind an earring.

That earring was worth as much as one of his bounties.

He secretly returned it.

But he also saw the county princess casually toss it to a servant, a look of distaste on her face.

Later, she stood before him and demanded that he marry into her family.

He didn't know what it meant to fall for someone, and thought it was just a transaction. The county princess liked his face, and he needed her money to save his gravely ill younger sister.

On their wedding day, the county princess had been teasing him just moments earlier. Then her expression changed, and she told him to get out.

The night was cold as water. Their eyes met again, and hers held nothing but indifference and disgust.

Shen Que knew he'd been abandoned. The county princess was fickle: after getting him, she discarded him like trash.

He thought he hated Hua Li. But later, when Hua Li was determined to divorce him, Shen Que was driven out into the pouring rain.

The county princess never once looked back.

And yet he had only one thought.

He loved Hua Li, ever since that first hurried glance at her.
