Gu Shengge is famed for her delicate hands, enchanting beauty, and naturally seductive charm.
A flick of her slender fingers, and she is still Gu Shengge, ruthless to the extreme.
They say Shengge has taken countless lives, and everyone who hears her name is terrified. Yet anyone she treats can be brought back from the brink of death.
They say Shengge is so captivating that one glance is unforgettable, but ordinary people never get to see her face.
Who says I'm dead?
Her pretty lips curved into a slow smile. Does anyone still doubt it?
The winds of change are rising. Even after vanishing for six years, she can stir up a storm in the capital. So what if there are countless mysteries? She can solve them one by one. Whatever comes her way, she knows how to handle it!
She got lucky and found a master, then honed her medical skills to perfection.
She saved a sweet, clueless young prince and gained an easy way into the palace.
And she even brought home the husband of her dreams~
Her husband says, “If you want this vast realm, I'll place it in your hands. Why not?”
“If you like those little fireflies, I'll gather them all for you. Just give me your dazzling smile!”
What? You say she's unbelievably lucky? No, no, she's lucky beyond the heavens!

“Shengsheng, it's time to go home.” Yan Zheng wound a strand of Gu Shengge's hair around his finger as he glanced at the people trembling on the ground. “Be good and have them thrown into the imperial prison. You can torment them whenever you like.”
Her smile was faint, her brows lightly drawn. “Then everyone in the world will say Shengsheng is cruel and treats human life like nothing.” She raised a fingertip, her scarlet nails gleaming like blood.

“Gu Shengge, how does the Heart-Eating Powder feel? Isn't it painful?” Cheng Qingshu's alluring, radiant features stretched into a triumphant, unrestrained smile.
Her eyes were faintly red, their usual brilliance hidden. She lifted her exquisitely beautiful face and smiled calmly at Cheng Qingshu.
“I thought you'd find something impressive to finish me off with. Turns out all you have is Heart-Eating Powder.” As she spoke, Gu Shengge, who had seemed utterly weak, slowly stood up under Cheng Qingshu's wide-eyed gaze. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye looked more striking than ever.
“You weren't affected?” Cheng Qingshu's widened eyes were full of questions. Only a moment later did she realize just how foolish her actions had been.
“Heart-Eating Powder has no effect on me.” Gu Shengge's faint fragrance settled over Cheng Qingshu, colder than autumn rain. Her eyes, like a winding landscape, lowered as she spoke in her usual calm voice.
She smiled freely. “Since you like Heart-Eating Powder so much, why don't I give it back to you?” In an instant, the breathtaking beauty brought death with her.

“If this is what you want, I won't fight you for it. Why did you have to shoot another arrow into my already shattered heart?” Gu Shengge forced back her tears and fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The next moment, she left without hesitation!
Watching her walk away, Yan Zheng reached out, but could not even touch her shadow.
He had not expected events to fly from the bowstring and slip out of his control in an instant. The balance of everything seemed to be tipping toward the unpredictable.

Her dark eyes, bright as stars, could not hide her joy. The scarlet wedding robe made Gu Shengge's skin look even fairer, like jade. As she walked, her flowing skirt rippled like the sea, light and graceful beyond words.
Watching her approach from afar, a fleeting glimmer passed through the man's eyes.
I'm hopeless at writing introductions, but the story itself is great~ This novel has both sweetness and angst. The heroine is strong, the hero even stronger, and it's a one-on-one romance. Go ahead and add it to your reading list, ladies~
