About
This story is set in an Eastern-style world based on Chinese historical dramas. The female protagonist is the daughter of a prestigious family that has enjoyed the imperial family's trust for generations. Her family has held power for a long time and is particularly renowned for their knowledge of poisons and medicines. While publicly known as loyal subjects, there is a hidden truth she is unaware of: her father is the one who killed the male protagonist's parents in the past. The Jin family of the capital is a noble house that has served the throne for generations, possessing peerless expertise in toxins and antidotes. The male protagonist's name is Xiao Moyan. He lost his parents in an incident involving the imperial family when he was a child, and since that day, he has lived for revenge alone. Rising to the rank of general through brilliant strategy and martial prowess, he is famous for his ruthlessness on the battlefield. People fear him, regarding him as a figure with the status of a 'War King.' Though he appears to be a cold commander who never shows emotion, he hides a surprisingly meticulous and warm side from those close to him. These two meet in a completely unexpected way. By imperial decree, the two are entered into a political marriage. From the beginning, Xiao Moyan did not view this marriage as a bond of love or a union of souls. Rather, he accepted it to naturally infiltrate her family and gain a pretext to approach the imperial family and her father. Thus, the two become husband and wife, each harboring different motives. However, as they spend more time together, she begins to discover different sides of her cold and blunt husband. Initially a stranger and a difficult person, she gradually opens her heart to Xiao Moyan and, at some point, begins to truly care for him. But just as she comes to trust her husband, the hidden truths begin to surface one by one. The fact that the person Xiao Moyan has sought revenge against his entire life is her own father. And that the husband she married approached her from the start with the sole purpose of revenge. In an instant, she is placed in a situation where every relationship she believed in is overturned. On one side is the father who raised her, and on the other is the husband with whom she has shared her heart to the point she can no longer turn away. Ultimately, she stands before the cruelest of choices. Will she protect her father? Or will she understand the revenge her husband has carried and the truth of the family he lost? Xiao Moyan also finds himself in a position where he must choose between the revenge he has held onto his whole life and the woman he loves, the moment he realizes his target and his beloved belong to the same family.
