On the day of her wedding, Xie Qingci did not marry the man of her dreams. Instead, she married Huan Sang, a cold-faced vice minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
A marriage contract pulled her out of the precarious Xie family. She had secured the marriage by trading away the Crown Prince's letters proving he was colluding with the enemy. From then on, in everyone's eyes, she was no longer a daughter of the Xie family, but a wife of the Huan family.
Beneath red curtains and candlelight, she calculated the movement of military supplies beside the bridal bed, conspiring with Huan Sang over the Crown Prince's treasonous correspondence.
The next day, the Xie family was destroyed. Everyone said she had been lucky to escape, while she alone fixed her gaze on the true culprit amid the storm.
What was marriage but a temporary expedient? What she wanted was repayment in blood.
