After 10 years of living in exile, the Xiao family's 'cursed' second di daughter: Shamo hua returns to the Capital as requested by her Father: the Formidable General Xiao Hung Fu as a chance to redeem herself for a wrong she never committed.  But as far as the world is concerned, trash should marry trash, that is as long as he doesn't die in her care. Dead set to keep her head on her shoulders and the idle bee's and butterflys out of her courtyard, Shamo hua later finds herself caught in the last thing she could be bothered about: Palace intrigue, especially when the one thing that makes her shudder with fear is the man dressed in blue with a smile that could topple nations, her bethrothed: the sickly Zhao Qing Lu.
