[Naive, gentle heiress X ruthless, cold-faced general]
Everyone knows that the young general Pei Yanzhi is cold-blooded and brutal, with countless lives to his name. They call him the King of Hell who lets no one escape alive. Yet he is forced to marry Xue Liuying, the delicate young lady of the marquis's household.
On their wedding night, he looks at her coldly. "Behave yourself, and we'll be even."
She lowers her eyes and shrinks back, as timid as a rabbit.
Until one night, he catches her preparing poison in his study, her slender fingers moving deftly as a cool smile plays on her lips.
"Isn't my husband investigating the massacre of the Pei family?" She taps the case file with a fingertip. "As it happens, my mother's death and your family's blood debt... are one and the same."
Only then does Pei Yanzhi realize that the woman he married isn't a soft, fragile little rabbit, but a blade steeped in poison.
