BOOK 1 (COMPLETE) Bai Pingting has always been contrary the saying, "A woman's virtue is ignorance". Although she serves the Marquess of Jing-An as a maid, she leads a life far richer than most women. Her plain appearance is not what defines her - but her intelligence, far beyond many wise men. Although Chu Beijie was an enemy general, she still cannot help being attracted to this man, despite the many lies and conspiracies...but between love and loyalty, she must make a choice. She can only hope that man's love for her isn't as deep as she thought. One is a soul who seemingly destroys peace while the other aspires to be the sword that saves. Between them, lies a mountain of hate... Who of the two most cunning people on earth cast the trap and just who captured the other?

An Su was forced into a marriage with a bossy, inscrutable man by a twist of fate. As if that wasn't horrible enough, she found out he was a ghost! Xue Can had been a living ghost for many years, and given his pride and arrogance, he considered it hilarious that the Xue family would bring him a silly girl like An Su. They were left in an empty room. When he noticed she was still staring at him, he lowered his gaze a little, raised his thin lips slightly, and his hard demeanor softened. "After staring at me for so long, my wife, are you satisfied with your husband's appearance?" ******************************************************* Hi mates!
