Confident, cute, and adorably oblivious beauty × cold-hearted, ruthless bastard
Everyone said Qiao Yinyao had bewitched Fu Zhoujing, dazzling him until he was utterly besotted. How else could a mere courtesan have married a young lord?
Qiao Yinyao was very pleased with her fiancé. He was handsome, spoke sweetly, and treated her well. Everyone else said he was only pretending and would never truly love her.
She shook her head, refusing to believe them. She trusted only his words.
She had eagerly awaited their blissful wedding, but what awaited her was a landscape strewn with corpses, filled with wails and bloody cries.
A figure clad in black robes edged with gold looked down from above. The wind howled, making his sharp features seem all the more terrifying. He listened to the threat with indifference:
“Your woman, or your throne? Which one do you want?”
Qiao Yinyao was not worried at all, despite the bloody cut across her neck. He would save her.
Fu Zhoujing picked up a bow and slowly drew it. His arrow hit its mark, and his cold, mocking laughter rang out.
“I want neither!”
Only then did she realize he had merely used her as a shield, sending her to her death.

Fu Zhoujing had a face as beautiful as jade, but a cruel and ruthless nature. He schemed tirelessly and stopped at nothing, climbing to power over the bodies of his own brothers.
By chance, he met a woman who would make a perfect bargaining chip.
He doted on her and loved her.
Once he had achieved his goal, she was no longer useful, and he dropped the act.
“If you behave, I’ll give you somewhere to stay.”
But that meant no more than a title. She did not deserve a child.
Qiao Yinyao saw him for what he was. Under his scornful, contemptuous gaze, she turned and threw herself into Fu Youyin’s arms.
Fu Youyin had never met such a foolish woman before. He had no interest in her girlish affections.
But he never expected her to be his sister-in-law.
Now he was intrigued. He was going to steal her away!
Fu Zhoujing got his wish and secured the crown prince’s position, yet his heart was twisted with jealousy. She was going to marry again, and to his younger brother, no less!
On the day of the wedding, dressed in red, he lifted her veil.
“I told you I would give you a home. You can’t refuse me!”
Qiao Yinyao slapped him twice, hard. “Get lost!”
