Why Does the Princess Always Want to Poison Me?

Ying Lu, the seventeenth princess, grew up in the Cold Palace. She was raised among poisons and learned to survive against all odds. Her father used her as a pawn, sending her to marry Tu Sui, the southwestern prince rumored to bring death to his wives, with a secret order to poison him. The prince’s residence is filled with poisonous mists, and danger lurks at every turn. All four of his previous princess consorts met gruesome deaths. Yet no one could have imagined that the ruthless killer, used to devouring all in his path, would meet a girl immune to every poison. She told him frankly, “You bring death to your wives, and I’m immune to poison. We were made for each other.” The pawn broke free of her fate, and amid the smoke of war, affection took root. Together, they broke the deadlock and cut through the darkness, becoming each other’s only salvation and home amid the poisonous schemes of a chaotic age.
