share time: 2026-01-14 06:03:03

Ah Zhao, the top female assassin in the jianghu, takes on her ultimate mission: to disguise herself as the prime minister's legitimate daughter and marry into Prince Qi's palace to kill the prince, rumored to be a "bloodthirsty maniac". But on their wedding night, the prince pulls out the dagger she hid in her red makeup box with a smile: "When you stabbed me three years ago, your knife still had the osmanthus candy I gave you." Ah Zhao is struck dumb—this man in the dragon-patterned wedding robe is the white-clad youth who shielded her in the chaos of war and took an arrow for her. Now she must fend off the concubine who wants her dead and the queen mother's poisoned wine, while torn between "completing the mission" and "rekindling old love": the red makeup is her mask, the blade her fate. But when her true heart, hidden under the mask, is awakened by old love—can she still drive the knife into her lover's chest?
