My thought: Awesome story for those who like the scheming, war strategy etc. Smart FL but smarter ML. It seems that only ML could understand how her mind works. 

The first translation novel that I've read. I read the manhua first, but sadly the manhua was dropped. Then I realized the existence of the novel version. I lost count how many times I've read this, something that I've never done before. It was soooo beautiful! The drama, the romance, the plot, everything is soooo amazing!! Until now I never found any novel that could surpass this story in my heart chart. (smile)

However, I like the original story the best. I was so disappointed with the drama adaptation that I couldn't bring myself to watch it until the end (sad). Why make my Chu Beijie so weak in the drama?? I couldn't accept it!!

Summary:

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?
