[One-line summary] A cold-blooded female assassin transmigrates into the body of a discarded daughter of a marquis’s house, turns her life around, and blazes down a bold, fiercely female-led path. She can impress with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and fight, kill, and play dirty when needed!
She was once a noble young lady of a marquis’s household, but could not withstand the feuding of powerful families, and she and her mother were cast aside.
Her maternal relatives were snobbish and unkind, leaving mother and daughter in a desperate position, bullied by everyone.
Her cousin tormented her in every way and had an affair with her fiancé, then handed her a letter of repudiation and mocked her without restraint.
Her dignity trampled and crushed to dust, she chose to take her own life in humiliation…
She was a weapon forged by an organization from childhood, cold and merciless, bloodthirsty and ruthless.
When she uncovered the hidden truth, she resolutely withdrew, but in the end, she could not escape the organization’s pursuit and cleanup.
An assassin’s dignity must not be defiled. It can only be defended with blood. With nothing left to live for, she chose to go down in flames…
Two souls merged, and the timid, frail girl who was courteous and well-read became a woman of unfathomable depths, sharp and formidable!
At the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, she fought back against all odds, revealing her brilliance for the first time and stunning everyone. Her reputation soared.
When danger approached, she planned ahead and handled it calmly, quietly protecting her family.
What? The Xiao Marquis’s residence suddenly wants her back in the capital so the family can reunite?
Xiao Liemei smiled with dazzling sweetness and replied with polite restraint, “Reunite with your sister! Get lost!”
What did you say? The marquis wants to betroth me to Prince Chen, the purple-robed, high-ranking Prince who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor!
Xiao Liemei pointed at her own bright, limpid eyes in exasperation. “Come on, look into my deep, wise eyes and tell me, do I look like a fool? A prince bold enough to stand up to the Emperor won’t last five minutes before His Majesty has his whole household wiped out! Tell your marquis to marry him himself. If he’s looking for a death wish, don’t drag me into it!”
