[An extraordinary heroine and her biggest fan of a husband]

[Everyday life in a marriage of convenience with an enemy prince]

Xiao Jingwu, crown princess of the Yuan Kingdom, was captured after her army was defeated and married off to the most despicable prince of the Tianlai Kingdom.

While held as a hostage in Tianlai, her personality changed dramatically. She reveled in her life there, indulging in extravagance and pleasure, and behaving with reckless abandon.

Everyone laughed that she and her husband were a perfect match.

One was a captive who spent every day chasing pleasure and kept countless male companions in her residence.

The other was born to a lowly Miao family, oppressed the common people, and committed every kind of evil. He was a downright rogue.

They each did as they pleased and stayed out of each other's way. Both were equally outrageous in their pursuits, yet somehow they lived in peace.

Who could have guessed that five years later, Xiao Jingwu, who had been mocked for enjoying herself too much to ever leave, would lead three thousand soldiers in a bloody assault on the Tianlai imperial palace, while Yuan troops outside the city seized the opportunity to attack?

After five years of enduring hardship and biding her time, at last she saw the light of day.

Xiao Jingwu's usually bright and flirtatious face took on a coldness never seen before. She sheathed her sword and looked at the young man on the ground. "You may go."

After all, they had been husband and wife. He had never harmed her all these years.

"Well, then."

Xie Yun smiled, got to his feet, brushed the dust from his clothes, and bade her farewell just as he always had.

"My lady, I'll see you again."

After returning to the Yuan Kingdom, Xiao Jingwu claimed all the lands of the Nine Provinces as her territory as easily as taking something from her pocket.

The realm was finally at peace. The new dynasty was named Yuan, and she became its emperor.

But conquering the realm was easy; holding on to it was hard.

Amid internal strife and external threats, Xiao Jingwu remembered that an elusive hermit had once helped her while she was plotting her plans.

So she personally traveled to the immortal mountain and called on him several times, inviting him to come out of seclusion.

After they joined forces and won a great victory, Xiao Jingwu wanted to make him a king and praised him lavishly. "Sir, your thoughts align perfectly with mine. You truly understand me. Heaven has granted me a worthy minister."

Beneath his mask, he chuckled softly.

"Of course. Your Majesty and I were made for each other."

[Upcoming story blurb]

The first time Shen Fu met Li Zhao was on a mountain path in the mortal realm.

The young boy carried firewood on his back. His heart was pure and unblemished.

Shen Fu turned herself into a starving, freezing mortal and, when he came to rescue her, beat him mercilessly.

That should make him hate her with all his heart, right?

The Evil God's mission was to spread wickedness. Everyone in the mortal world was bound to harbor evil thoughts.

If they didn't, she would make them.

But the boy coughed up blood all night, then got up the next day with a heart still bright and clear.

This time, Shen Fu didn't go after him herself. Instead, she sent two junior gods who served under her.

"When you go, make sure he learns just how treacherous the human heart can be."

The junior gods never returned, and she soon forgot all about it.

More than a decade passed, and a rising star ascended from the mortal realm.

Shen Fu sat alone in a shadowy corner, watching Li Zhao surrounded by a crowd.

His heart was still pure as snow. She had truly neglected her duty.

None of her junior gods were any use, so Shen Fu decided to handle it herself.

Once Li Zhao began to hate her, evil thoughts would take root in his heart.

So Shen Fu tore off the roof of his house, destroyed his sword, mocked and humiliated him in public, and ambushed and tormented him in private, making sure bad luck followed him and resentment filled his heart.

Yet when they met again, Li Zhao still asked with a sunny smile,

"Divine Venerable, I've been working on some new dishes lately. Would you like to try them?"

"..."

Shen Fu thought,

Maybe he's not kind. Maybe he's just an idiot.

-

Li Zhao was born with an innocent heart. In more than twenty years of life, he had never once harbored any ill will.

Until that day.

He saw a battlefield raging in the distance, with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers surrounding Yinyu.

The Evil God knelt on one knee, covered in wounds, on the verge of having her very soul destroyed.

Evil thoughts began to grow wildly in his heart.
