The Female Chancellor

Nie Qing, the king of assassins, dies and wakes to find herself a baby girl crying to be fed. Her father dotes on her, her mother spoils her, and beneath their warmth, Nie Qing’s frozen heart gradually melts. For this affection, she is willing to live an ordinary life, forget the killing of her previous life, and be nothing more than a simple farmer’s daughter. But fate has other plans. In a time of chaos and ceaseless war, her parents are brutally killed, her family betrays her, and she is consumed by hatred. The king of assassins returns to the path of killing and revenge. Years later, Nie Qing has grown from a country girl into a graceful young woman. She casts off her feminine finery, enters the imperial court, and becomes a powerful and handsome minister of the Southern Kingdom. She fights for power and schemes against her rivals, laying plans at every turn and leaving bloodshed in her wake. The king of assassins carves a bloody path through the thorns, determined to hold power in the palm of her hand, turning clouds with one hand and rain with the other. She is the Southern Kingdom’s treacherous minister; he is a prince from another land. After clashing again and again, they exhaust every scheme and skill, each fighting for a place to survive in this contested world. Who could have guessed they would lose their hearts along the way? If so, even if they must forsake the whole world, they will never forsake each other.
