Pian Fangfang

Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

This calculating man, after exhausting countless schemes to lure her here in the dead of night, is it just to gamble with her?


Meng Qianqian couldn't shake the feeling that the gamble wasn't as straightforward as it seemed.


"You can take pieces any way you want? What if you take none?"


The man replied, "You can't take none, and you can't take all. At least one piece must remain in the chess box."


Meng Qianqian's idea of taking all twenty pieces at once was completely ruled out.


The man answered, "Yes, you must tell the truth. No lying allowed."


Even if someone lied, would the opponent really be able to tell?


The man added, "Each of us has one chance to pass on answering a question, but it will cost us one of our pieces."


Passing just costs one piece, which doesn't seem like a heavy price.
