[Alluring Miao girl on the surface X abstinent God of War Prince]
Li Shu, a Miao girl with a face that could entrance the world, is actually a complete fool. She was born afraid of snakes, bugs, rats, and mice, so she can’t raise Gu or make poison.
When she learns that her stepmother plans to turn her into a love-charm Gu to seduce men and sell for money, she flees in a panic. She can’t find her way out of the village, but she does come across a Central Plains man suffering from a deadly poison.
They strike a deal: Li Shu will suppress his poison, and he will give her a place to stay.
With tears in her eyes, the girl tremblingly draws the Gu out, temporarily saving his life.
But he always looks at her with a hint of disdain. It’s fine. She’ll put up with it for the sake of their deal.
Li Shu follows him to the Central Plains, only to discover that he is the emperor’s younger brother, Xiao Yin, the God of War Prince of the Great Sheng.
She fulfills her end of the deal, happily sells off her rewards, packs her bags, and sets out to see the prosperity of the age.
But every time she tries to leave, that ice block gets infected by Gu again.
With a long sigh, she diligently treats him, only to discover that Xiao Yin has been secretly letting her Gu bite him. He’s been trying to trick her into staying at the manor and working for him for the rest of her life!
Li Shu steels herself. If you show me no kindness, don’t blame me for showing you none. For the sake of freedom, she pretends to play along and secretly raises a Gu that can make people obey her every word, planning to trick him into drinking it.
Unfortunately, in her panic, she grabs the wrong Gu. This time, she raises a love Gu.
Xiao Yin is the emperor’s younger brother, the God of War of the Great Sheng, proud and cold-hearted.
One day, a miscalculation nearly costs him his life in a den of poison, and he is saved by a timid, slow-witted Miao girl.
At first, he looks down on her and uses her. Gradually, he becomes determined to keep her by his side, no matter what it takes.
Until one day, Xiao Yin realizes he can’t hold on to a wisp of wind.
Despairing, he drinks the poisoned tea she serves him. “If you don’t want me, you can have my life instead.”
Wait... Why am I... so hot... after drinking this?
