Shen Qiaoer&Gu Yan
Shen Qiaoer, who was sent away from birth, returned to her original mansion after a difficult ordeal. Her only purpose was to gain power and glory.
During this period, she bumped into (Second Prince) Gu Yan and committed a murder, and later she met (Regent) Xie Lingxiao, who had military power. Shen Qiaoer wanted to use him to gain power to repay her mother, because her mother was not good to her, and her father often went out without anyone to protect her, so she could only rely on herself.
When she received another mission from her master, it was to protect Xie Lingxiao Zhouquan. There were details about Fengsha Pavilion hidden in the capital, and assassination missions would be issued from time to time. Shen Qiaoer first stood by Xie Lingxiao's side, and happened to meet Gu Yan there. Xie Lingxiao told her that Gu Yan was not a good person, and she had seen him kill people without mercy, so she could not avoid Gu Yan.
But due to various factors, she discovered that Gu Yan was not what others said. Although Xie Lingxiao showed up when she needed help, he would not protect her like Gu Yan did. Until she and Gu Yan found out the bureaucratic capitalist, Gu Yan used a trick to help Shen Qiaoer. With this move, she was lured into the game and successfully got Shen Qiaoer to marry him.
It didn't take long for the two to achieve great success, and the emperor ordered a match.
A few days before the wedding, Gu Yan came to Shen Qiaoer for various reasons, taking her to relax, telling her his true feelings, and setting off fireworks to make her laugh. In the process of getting along, she slowly accepted her fate and Gu Yan.
On the wedding day, the master gave her a second task (to assassinate Gu Yan). On the wedding day, she was asked to kill Gu Yan, but she still chose to do it. She could not disobey the master, let alone betray Gu Yan. Between the task and Gu Yan, she chose to complete the task. The sharp knife was inserted into his chest, and he asked her in disbelief.
Later, the misunderstanding between them was resolved, and Shen Qiaoer also saw clearly Xie Lingxiao's character. Seeing that things were exposed, Xie Lingxiao used her as a bait to set up Gu Yan, and Gu Yan made a big mistake.
Xie Lingxiao killed the king to usurp the throne and took away Shen Qiaoer.
Purpose: To quell resentment
