In the flames, a young girl named Mei Lin lost her entire family. Heartbroken and consumed by vengeance, she vowed to kill the one responsible for the massacre. She joins a secret organization known as the Shadow Works, where she undergoes years of brutal training after consuming a deadly poison that turns her into an unstoppable assassin. Mei Lin’s first mission is finally assigned: to assassinate her greatest enemy, Prince Murong Jing He himself.

Disguised as one of a hundred Xiyan beauties sent to the Great Yan as part of a political marriage alliance, she patiently waits for her chance to strike. But what Mei Lin doesn’t know is that the man who masterminded her entire assassination mission—setting her on this path of revenge—is none other than Murong Jing He himself.
