A ruthless, headstrong heiress to a merchant empire x an enigmatic prince wielding real power
Revenge edition:
The legitimate daughter of a wealthy merchant family, she fell for the fifth prince, lavished him with gold and jade, and finally became engaged to him. She planned to bring him a fortune as her dowry and help him ascend the throne. She never imagined that it would end with her family destroyed and all their wealth lost. At the bottom of a deep pool, Ni Tianjiao swore a terrible oath: “My clan’s enemy and I shall never live beneath the same sky!”
When she opened her eyes again, her relatives were still alive, and the family fortune had not changed hands. Her aunt was hawkish beneath her gracious exterior, her sisters were beautiful but treacherous, the royal family was eyeing them covetously, and that scoundrel was even trying the same old tricks again?
She would reclaim the family fortune, protect her relatives, and avenge her ancestral feud. If the vast realm could not be governed well, then she would replace its ruler!
But the Ninth Prince, pure as jade and clear as a deep pool, was supposed to be an untamed youth longing for a free and carefree life in the martial world. In this life, however, he stood before her, no longer aloof and noble, and insisted, “You don’t have to do anything. I’ll protect your wealth and power for you! If you want the realm itself, take it!”
But he had no idea that the royal family was bound to her by a blood feud!
Premise: Devoted to one person for life.
