Jin Xia is everything a noble lady of Lanling Jin should be: possessive of breathtaking beauty, unmatched grace, and a tongue laced with lethal poison. She humbles suitors with a single word and rules Carp Tower with supreme, untouched arrogance.
Nie Mingjue is a storm of unbroken honor-a sect leader who governs with an iron fist and has zero patience for spoiled royalty.
Two years ago, their political betrothal burned down in a clash of untamed egos. She called him a brute; he called her a hollow doll. The arrangement was erased, and they walked away despising each other's very existence.
Now, a grand gathering brings the Qinghe Nie Sect back to Carp Tower. Bound by diplomacy, they are forced into the same halls once more. They refuse to speak. They refuse to yield. But beneath the cold glares, sharp insults, and stolen glances, an unforgiving spark remains.
Some alliances break. Others simply wait for the right flame to ignite the wreckage.
