Hua Nishang, the adopted daughter of the King of Xiliang, traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains to assassinate the young Marquis Xu, who constantly threatened to invade the Western Regions.
Then she suddenly discovered she was the long-lost princess of Great Zhou, missing for seventeen years.
Hua Nishang, who had been sharpening her knives but was suddenly thrust onto the throne of a princess: ...?!
Wait, I was going to kill all of you for the sake of peace.
But you're telling me I'm a princess???
Fine, then. Never mind.
If she wants peace, a princess has her own methods:
School, persuasion, and... a diplomatic marriage.

At first, Xu Xing thought Hua Nishang was just an ordinary princess.
Or, to put it less charitably, a princess who had come from a singing house.
Beautiful, weak, and useless.
Until the day of a family banquet at the marquis's residence, when someone drugged her and she was about to be used as a disposable pawn.
To prevent trouble, he went to save her.
But when he opened the secret chamber door, he found the culprit already dead, a rose hairpin embedded in his skull.
Hua Nishang shook out her long hair and wiped the blood from her cheek, teasing him nonchalantly:
"You're here, Young Marquis?"
"Since you're here, quit trying to look cool and come take a look at this guy. Your brother."

Xu Xing lit a firestarter and studied the most beautiful woman in Great Zhou with keen interest.
She's interesting.
