[A princess who fears nothing X a scheming, adorable young heir]
[Going on a killing spree X playing the fool to catch the tiger]
Ling Yuchen was raised by her imperial grandfather from a young age. At thirteen, she shot down enemy banners and captured enemy generals, unmatched on the battlefields of the northern frontier. When she returned to the capital, it was time for her to marry, and she was promised to the frail young heir of the Duke's residence.
People said the young lord had been weak and sickly ever since he was a baby, "graceful as a flower reflected in water, moving like a willow supported by the breeze."
Once the marriage was settled, rumors spread throughout the capital. Perhaps the emperor was displeased that the Duke's residence had grown too powerful, and wanted the Third Princess to "cruelly crush a flower."
Yuchen thought so too. After marrying into the Duke's residence, she threw her weight around and trained her adorable young husband until he was completely obedient.
Then one day, a palace coup broke out, and the royal family was taken hostage by rebels.
That day, she saw Lu Fei with her own eyes, clad in dark armor and carrying a long spear with a red tassel, leading troops into the palace. His eyes blazed like hellfire and blood stained his face as he slaughtered his way through the palace for her.
What happened to being weak as a willow? My foot!
Lu Fei: Don't ask. If you do, it's all just foreplay.
Theme: May sunlight reach every shadowed place.
