The Peerless Merchant Queen

He was infamous for his ugliness, a laughingstock whom everyone despised and rejected. Yet the world didn’t know that he could command the clouds and rain with a wave of his hand, and was nearly a god or demon: the Flame-Ice Lord.

Feng Tianxin thought herself brilliant, but she had no idea that the person who had silently protected her all along was none other than the famed master of the Soul-Slaying Sect, the Flame-Ice Lord. Nor did she know that he was Shen Cuo, the laughingstock whom everyone despised and rejected.

He needed her sincere love, but only after she gave him her whole heart did she learn that all he truly needed was someone to lift his curse.

“Your Exalted Lordship, the Flame-Ice Lord, congratulations on breaking your curse. And congratulations to us on being over.” She laughed bitterly through her tears, her eyes filled with resolve.

But he only smiled and said, gentle yet domineering, “An ending is a new beginning. Without my permission, there will be no end between us.”

He would overturn the world for her, give her all the riches under heaven, and devote his life to her, all for the chance to win one radiant smile.
