Also known as "Qiu Ye Ci" (Autumn Leaf's Resignation), this story is complete and features a pure love.
【A sweet, black-hearted, dramatic widow x a stiff-lipped prince who bends for love】
The first time Ji Ci met Qiu Ziye, he instinctively felt that this little widow was inexplicably strange in every way. She was the unloved eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of An's residence, raised in a remote area. She was beautiful and kind, beloved by everyone around her.
But on her first night after marrying into the General's Residence, her husband's family was tragically massacred, and her husband was poisoned to death. On the night of the incident, amidst the flames, she unexpectedly locked eyes with him. Moments later, a pitiful, delicate, and harmless expression appeared on her innocent face.
Later, without his permission, she blurted out, "Brother Jian Xi," her voice soft and sweet, making his feet go weak. Ji Ci was stern, not giving the little widow a chance, "Do not call this prince by his given name, and do not call me 'brother'!"
Yet, he didn't expect her to call everyone "brother." She seemed very simple, not understanding the proper decorum between men and women, always "accidentally" breaking boundaries with him. She tied a packet of dragon's beard candy to his waist, revealing her scalded fingers, her eyes gleaming, and her voice gentle: "Your Highness must take good care of yourself."
She was beautiful and cute; despite her constant little tricks, in Ji Ci's eyes, she might merely have lacked proper guidance since childhood. What he never knew was that this seemingly weak and helpless little widow was actually the enemy spy, Jiang Qiuye.
Through her meticulously designed gambits, she used every conniving method to finally become his wife. Ji Ci, who thought he saw through everything, tried to educate her: "I know your cunning is forced by your past life, but from now on, you must be kind and self-disciplined."
She agreed, shedding tears like pear blossoms in the rain, then looked up and kissed him, "Brother Jian Xi, Ye'er cannot be without you." Even though he had been manipulated by her, he once again fell into her tender trap.
It wasn't until much later that he discovered there was not a single truth in anything she said. And the true culprit behind these countless cases was actually this little widow by his side, who loved to cry and act spoiled...
1v1, pure love (sc). The emotional line is the main focus. The entire story is set in a fictional world. It’s a happy ending (HE).
*Autumn Leaf, ranking among the top assassins, got too deeply into character, constantly exposing her silly nature, and a lie about 'heartfelt affection' became true.
*The aloof prince, who considered himself clear-headed, ended up lowering his standards again and again for love. It turned out he was the one with a 'love brain'.
【The female lead's moral character is not perfect, but she is not inherently evil; it's related to her past experiences. The true culprit of the opening massacre case is not the female lead. The author's notes in the first chapter provide spoiler warnings for potential 'minefields', so readers who aren't sensitive to spoilers can skip them.】
