A master of ingenious machinery, who loves to fish aimlessly, meets a two-faced, split-personality, love-sick prince.

The peerless beauty Prince Jin, Xiao Chengyan, had remained aloof and abstinent for twenty years. His impending marriage caused a sensation in the capital.

The new Princess Jin, Gu Jinghong, though possessing a beauty that could overturn cities, disguised herself as a white moonlight, performed seductive dances, and clung to the prince with all sorts of schemes, appearing as a femme fatale who latched onto power and was deeply cunning.

Everyone sighed, "What white moonlight? Men ultimately value appearance."

However, on the wedding day, the real white moonlight appeared!

Prince Jin called her a liar and pushed her, still in her wedding dress, into another man’s arms!

The noble ladies of the capital were all waiting to watch the tragic downfall of the "femme fatale." To everyone's surprise, she neither cried nor pleaded, but instead grabbed the prince and pressed a bloody kiss on him as a farewell.

Everyone was stunned: "What does this mean? Did the Princess divorce the Prince?"

One year later...

Gu Jinghong sat majestically in the main seat of Qian Yuan Pavilion, with machinery, firearms, and secret intelligence all under her command.

Xiao Chengyan finally couldn't sit still any longer.

In the heavy dew of midnight, he climbed through the window into Gu Mansion's chambers, his cold demeanor shattered.

"Gu Jinghong, where did you find these..."

Bo Xiangqian bit Su Junrou's finger, casting a flirtatious glance, gentle and enchanting.

Su Junrou caressed her hair, a smirk on her lips, "My Qian'er is indeed sensible, I truly didn't misjudge her."

But Su Junrou clearly rejoiced too soon. Bo Xiangqian suddenly bit down hard, startling Su Junrou with a shiver down her spine.

"Your Majesty, this concubine just had a sudden thought and wanted to try if I could bite off Your Majesty's finger. Your Majesty won't blame this concubine, will you?"

Su Junrou looked at Bo Xiangqian's innocent, charming, and naive expression, inwardly groaning in distress. Yet, she could only force a smile.

"It's fine, I'm alright! As long as my beloved concubine doesn't chip her teeth!" Su Junrou's heart swelled with affection, couldn't help but think, "With a wife... concubine like this, what more could I, your husband, ask for?!"

Barbarian brute Jiaye Nantuo: Qian'er, come with me. I am willing to slaughter all of Jiangnan for you and submit to you.

Childhood sweetheart and Supervising Director Zhou Yimou: Qian'er, do you still remember? That year I accompanied you to the lantern festival, and you envied the imperial concubine's sedan chair. I swore then that I would let you enjoy endless glory and peace for life, and now... I have achieved it! Although—I am no longer your childhood sweetheart... brother!

Afterward, Bo Xiangqian was cruelly imprisoned and confined by the tyrant, wearing shackles and chains, attending court with the tyrant to discuss affairs with officials. The people of Yujin groaned with resentment, all cursing them.

Everyone lamented the tyrant's wickedness and abuse of his beloved concubine. However, the truth was...

"Your Majesty, my shackles seem a bit loose, not tight enough..." Bo Xiangqian leaned against the dragon bed, while the tyrant knelt before her knees, serving by her side.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty use your mouth to tie them tighter for this concubine? Your Majesty, okay?" The tyrant replied, "My Lady has an edict; this little dog obeys."

Born into an obscure, nameless sect of the Jianghu, Jiao Ran barely knew a few characters and was unable to cultivate either internal or external martial arts. She had always thought she would be a good-for-nothing her entire life. However, one snowy night, a visitor took her away to execute a seemingly simple mission.

The Jianghu is vast and profound, interwoven with the past affairs of aristocratic families. Amidst the conspiracies, more stratagems emerge, and layers of deception make the dense fog difficult to dispel. This is a story of a junior sister from a low-tier sect paired with a sickly, cunning young master.

Shen Juansheng is known as the Jianghu's number one strategist, and under his illustrious reputation, everyone knows he is unparalleled in wisdom and schemes. He is a rare and exceptionally handsome young master, though his physique is a bit frail, usually earning him the title of a "sick beauty".

Who would have thought that one day, he would suddenly pull out a girl in public, declaring, "Now my heart has been planted with a love gu by her." The black-clothed youth's eyes were slightly red as he looked at her with a gentle smile, his tenderness seemingly as vibrant as a spring breeze. Everyone watched as he lost all his usual composure, trembling all over as he leaned against her neck, "From now on, I am her gu slave."

The crowd erupted in an uproar. It was said, "With one move, he executes ten flawless schemes; divine opportunities shift a hundred times, leaving no trace." This figure, renowned for his meticulousness, had actually made a grave miscalculation and fallen victim to a "demoness'" love gu! The "high-climbing flower" was disgraced and ruined. Who in the world wouldn't mock him? The news spread throughout the entire jianghu at a suspiciously fast speed.

At this moment, Qing Guiyu, utterly stunned in his embrace, thought: "What love gu?"

Others save beauties and win their hearts; she saves a beauty and risks social ruin. Qing Guiyu had always believed herself to be very lucky, not only surviving the chaos of war but also managing to apprentice in the Medicine King Valley. This was until she picked up a handsome young man suffering from a cold poison at her doorstep. After nursing him for a few months and almost curing him, she sent him back.

Because she had gotten a bit injured in the process, he seemed to feel guilty and was reluctant to leave. So she casually coaxed him, "I only saved you because you're good-looking, but no matter how handsome you are, there'll be a day I get tired of looking at you." The young man lowered his head, biting his lip, as if he had suffered some enormous grievance.

She could never understand how that clear and pure young man could grow into the most vicious strategist in the jianghu, famous for his cunning schemes. Seven years passed. The former young man, seeing his lifespan nearing its end, used the love gu pretense to feign tenderness and affection. All of it was a desperate, dying struggle to force her to treat his poison. —Until later, she finally fulfilled his calculations and exchanged her life for his. But it wasn't for him; it was for someone else.

When Shen Juansheng was toyed with by fate and his last shred of life was crushed, someone pulled him back from the brink of death. Yet, the cold poison still gnawed at his bones; he might not survive the next winter. How could someone without a tomorrow possibly speak of longing? As soon as this beautiful thought arose in his heart, he had already repaid seven years of deep kindness. Unseen. Unattainable. Now he is so cold he's almost dying. Whether sane or insane, even if he has to burn himself by embracing fire, he must continue this warmth.
