She is a lonely spirit lingering by the Bridge of Helplessness, outwardly aloof and cold, impervious to blade or spear, but inwardly carefree, unrestrained, and wanting for nothing.
He is a peerless Demon King from another world, dazzlingly talented and outwardly rebellious, looking down on all beings, but inwardly calculating, patient, ruthless, and cold-blooded.
One day, after falling into the Underworld by the Bridge of Helplessness, she meets him...
They use all the people of the world as pawns, and with a delicate hand on the pieces, set a grand deception in motion.
[Winner Takes All]
The Third Consort stole Beiyuan’s throne from the Empress, then killed her. The Empress died with her eyes open.
The Third Consort also killed Beiyuan’s princess, drowning her in a pond and leaving her lifeless.
The Empress or the princess: which one will you choose?
Feng Xi, a lonely spirit for a hundred years, wants to fulfill her dream of being a little princess.
Someone makes a deal with the Empress’s vengeful ghost, promising to fulfill her dying wish.
First, sacrifice the blood of Beiyuan’s royal family and the Third Consort to avenge her unborn child.
Now a little princess, Feng Xi thinks that toppling the throne and killing a few people is no trouble at all.
And then...
She deceives the emperor, outmaneuvers princes, plays at being a ghost, gets caught in the act, and is left close to tears.
“Gentlemen, this is really just a beautiful misunderstanding. I’m not Princess Zhaoyang. My name is Feng Xi, and I’m from Earth, one of the eight planets in the Solar System.”
She kills the Empress Dowager, pretends to be a mystic, prays for rain, and is welcomed by the people, basking in the limelight.
“I finally understand why so many people pretend to be mystics.” “Oh?” “Being worshipped and revered, and getting all this attention, feels damn good!”
She becomes a maid to bring a couple together, only to end up inviting trouble and regretting it bitterly.
“This humble girl will never again write ‘I’ve been wronged’ in blood beneath the wall of your estate, hang herself in your study, or wail like a ghost in your home all night. Just put your clothes back on and stop acting like a lecher!”
[Author’s Note]
The heroine isn’t human. She’s a century-old ghost with no moral compass, and there are no limits to the bloodshed or violence. She can be arrogant and domineering or gentle and charming, depending on her mood.
The hero isn’t human either. He’s a ten-thousand-year-old fox demon who helps evil thrive, and he’s cruel, cunning, and easy to take down. Whether he’s cold and calculating or an adorable, lovable pet depends entirely on the heroine.
I’m no good at writing blurbs, and updates may be irregular. Read while you can, and don’t miss out as you pass by.
One more thing, dear readers: no yellowed cabbage leaves, no rotten eggs, fresh tomatoes only, and please don’t throw potatoes, cucumbers, or anything else. Thank you!
