The Tyrannical Prince and His Cold-Hearted Consort

She was a heartless assassin, free of desire.

He was an arrogant, violent, and cold-blooded prince.

One sharp sword, two lifetimes of love and hatred. When a cold-hearted man meets a woman without a heart, will his coldness soften, or will her heartlessness be wounded by his cruelty?

Her name was Feng Canxue. She was the top disciple of the leader of Wuyin Sect and his personal instrument of assassination. She had no heart, no feelings, no love, no hate, and no past. She never gave the future a thought. When she donned an iron mask to hide her ruined face, she became “Can,” the cold-blooded assassin who struck fear into everyone's heart.

During an ordinary mission, she ventured alone into the forbidden grounds of that violent prince. From that moment on, her life was completely rewritten.

His eyes widened in shock as he softly called her by an unfamiliar name: “Huan'er.” And for the first time, her heart stirred.

From then on, she stayed by his side, never leaving him.

She undressed for him. Even when he took her by force, she never complained. He despised her ruined face, so she put on a mask and became the woman he loved, without the slightest hesitation. She was pregnant, yet for the sake of his ambitions, she willingly drank safflower tea, without regret.

At his command, she fought her way through every obstacle and battled across the land, heedless of the corpses strewn around her. Because he was bound by his duties as a subject, she dared to enter dangerous places and risk her life to help him find the divine weapons he needed to conquer the realm. When he merely furrowed his brow, she raised her sword and cut off her own husband's head, even knowing she would be cursed for generations, even as the affection and warmth they had once shared vanished like the wind...

But in the end, when the truth came to light, when every scheme had run its course, and when she finally saw his utterly heartless nature... could a single word like “pain” possibly describe it?

She stood beneath the city tower, gazing up at the golden imperial robe that shone too brightly, and at the delicate beauty standing beside him. Never before had her longing been so fierce.

“If you had to choose between me and the realm, what would you choose?”

“The realm!” The man answered without a moment's hesitation.

She had thought her heart no longer felt anything. But the wounds riddling it still hurt, and being utterly broken took only an instant. As blood blurred her vision and that icy gaze tore apart her last lingering love... at last, she decided she would no longer remain, no longer love him!

A blood-curdling cry rang out, heaven and earth changed color. One final farewell, and all bonds of affection were severed! Who could say what became of the entanglement spanning two lifetimes? Her black hair turned white with grief, her heart shattered, her soul broken...

In the end, who won the realm? And who was left to weep all her tears?

I'm no good at writing blurbs. If this isn't for you, please move along. The heroine is clever, devoted, and powerful; the hero is wicked, cunning, and yet devoted. There are plenty of handsome men, a shameless female rival who loves asking for trouble, and all kinds of thrilling adventures and terrifying conspiracies. I don't write tragedies, and the ending is happy, so please enjoy!

Also, this story is a little unusual, blending fantasy elements into historical romance. I debated it, but ultimately chose the alternate-history category. After all, at heart, the story is about love and romance~

The novel was originally titled Can Jian Huan and has now been renamed The Domineering Prince and His Cold-Hearted Consort.

This is Lanlan's first historical romance. I hope you'll show it lots of support~ Thank you all!
