The Redeemer Who Chooses to Fall

share time: 2026-02-10 00:42:49

Su Wan, the sole survivor of a wrongfully exterminated general's family, disguises herself as a teahouse owner to get close to Xiao Jingyan, the Northern Town King—known as the 'Redeemer' who once quelled a rebellion and saved the empire, but now lies poisoned by the emperor, a shadow of his former self. Su Wan intends to use his power for revenge, yet as she tends to him daily, she uncovers the tenderness beneath his cold exterior: he takes an assassin's knife for her, soothes her night terrors, and secretly retrieves her late mother's keepsake. Just as Su Wan starts to let go of her hatred, she learns a shocking truth—Xiao Jingyan knew her identity all along. His 'fall' was a deliberate ploy: he never desired the throne; all he wanted was to pull the spiked girl back into the warmth of the world.
