Cold-Blooded Assassin x Humble Bastard Son
Bian Yue is both an assassin and a princess. It is a strange combination, yet it makes perfect sense.
She is the emperor's blade, a borrowed weapon, cold and silent, killing without a trace. She eliminates his rivals and plots on his behalf. Her status as a princess is her reward.
Mu Zishu is an added bonus, a handsome man with neither power nor influence, born to be a pawn in his family's political schemes.
In the end, Bian Yue is the one who benefits.
Everyone says their marriage is absurd.
One is a princess high above the clouds, the other a bastard son sunk in the dust. It could hardly be more absurd.
A stubborn person needs a lover who never gives up.
Bian Yue's perspective: marriage first, love later. Mu Zishu's perspective: his secret crush comes true.
Content warning: The female lead is an assassin who has killed people, both good and bad. She is slow to warm up and only gradually falls in love later on.
Theme: The road through the martial world is long, and every turn brings storms. Stay true to what you hold dear, and don't fear the long road ahead.
