The Grand Princess and Her Most Loyal Treacherous Minister
"What does it matter if I die ten thousand times, so long as Your Highness rests beneath snow-covered green hills, untouched by the dust of this world?"
*
Su Yaohua is the Grand Princess of Dachang. For the sake of peace in Dachang, she marries Liu Chang, a vassal king who has surrendered to the empire. On their wedding night, she is forced to drink poisoned wine. Using the excuse of escorting the princess back to the palace, Liu Chang launches another rebellion.
Reborn, she returns to the night before her wedding. With death close at hand, she thinks of one person: Murong Zhao, the treacherous minister denounced by everyone at court.
She bathes and changes, washing away her makeup, then summons Murong Zhao to the princess's residence. "Lord Murong, how about we make a deal?"
*
Murong Zhao was born into a poor family. Through military achievements and political acumen, he carved out a place for himself. His family died at the hands of a vassal king, and he had once hoped the imperial court would suppress the vassal kings and give justice to the common people who died in the flames of war.
Who could have known that after Liu Chang surrendered, the court would give the princess to him in marriage? Murong Zhao had had enough. From then on, he resolved to become a treacherous minister who could turn the world upside down.
Just then, the legendary, supremely noble Grand Princess came to him. As he gazed at her delicate, immaculate face, he couldn't help falling for her.
*
The wind howled and the snow roared. Murong Zhao was gravely wounded and could barely hold on. Blood spilled across the vast white wilderness. He gave a cold laugh. So she had only been using him.
He raised his sword and fought in a frenzy, but was still driven into a desperate situation. Through the haze of blood, he suddenly heard a long neigh. Su Yaohua rode up, drew her bow, and shot an arrow straight into the enemy's chest.
"A-Zhao, I've come to take you home."
