The Days of Working for the King

Li Xuan, the reigning Prince Jing, is a battle-hardened vassal prince whose name inspires fear throughout the land. He takes Gu Qingyao, the young lady of the Gu family, as his wife by force. The court is rife with intrigue, and accusations have piled high on the imperial desk. Under the roof of the inner residence, undercurrents stir, and someone behind the scenes wants her dead. From a pawn at the mercy of others to the player who takes control and turns the tide; from a perilous journey north, beset with thorns, to a bond of life and death forged from schemes and devotion, watch as Gu Qingyao, a woman in a turbulent age, lays bare the game of power and carves out her own bloody path on the edge of a blade. A sweet, innocent young lady from a noble family who knows exactly how to get things done. A decisive general transforms into a doting puppy of a husband.
