The Bright Moon Shines for You

This year marks the sixth year since Lou Yan escaped his status as a slave.

Song Bo bestowed on him a noble title and a city, but Lou Yan knew full well that he had merely gone from being a powerful minister's death soldier to being his ruler's death soldier.

This time, however, he received a special assignment: go to Li and bring back the princess, who had been held there as a hostage for eight years.

"The princess?"

"Yes, Princess Qi."

It was a shocking secret, and an equally shocking lie, because everyone knew that Li had originally demanded the crown prince.

After traveling over mountains and across rivers, he finally met Princess Qi.

Gongsun Qi looked up at the handsome minister. He had changed into fresh clothes after burning incense, and when he bowed to her, a delicate fragrance wafted toward her.

He had brought even better news: she was finally going home.

He told his servants to start packing, then went to bid farewell to the Marquis of Li.

Before her heartfelt joy could fade, another group arrived to pay their respects. They carried a token from Song Bo, one she recognized: the jade pendant she had begged her father for as a child.

They took her away before the others could.

Sitting in the carriage bound for home, she couldn't help looking back at the city that had imprisoned her for eight years.

Could she trust Mr. Lou? Would she see him again?

She didn't know that outside the city, assassins from Li were silently drawing their blades in the setting sun.
