(Complete Novel, Free to Read)
The first time Jiang Yuwan met Sheng Tingye, they were at the Jiang family ancestral graveyard, standing over her own grave.
To save her life, Jiang Yuwan had a sudden inspiration and convincingly played the role of a country girl who was gravely ill and near death, visiting her benefactor’s grave while enjoying a brief return of strength.
To her utter surprise, after she managed to fool Sheng Tingye, whose gaze alone could kill, and make her escape, an imperial decree sent her to the Third Prince’s residence to bring him good fortune.
By the flickering red candles, Sheng Tingye looked at the delicate beauty beneath the red wedding veil, her lips red and teeth white, with a smile that was almost a smirk.
“My lady, isn’t your last burst of energy lasting a little too long?”
Jiang Yuwan: “…!”
…
The hottest gossip in Yanjing was the imperial decree arranging their marriage.
One was the Third Prince, poisoned and on the brink of death.
The other was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, frail and sickly since childhood, seemingly always on the verge of death.
Everyone said that when two doomed souls were put together, one of them was bound to die at any moment!
But everyone waited and waited. No funeral came from the Third Prince’s residence. Instead, the two of them joined hands and climbed to the highest throne, crushing underfoot all those who had once humiliated them.
[Cold, ruthless, ambitious, and completely unhinged hero VS decisive heroine with maxed-out combat skills and sharp wits, who knows how to say goodbye and walk away]
