Chapter 1The Funeral

When Young Mistress Liu stood in front of her father's coffin, tears running down her cheeks, the atmosphere was filled with the sultry aroma of incense and the sombre sounds of traditional Chinese music.

He had left, and she would never see him again, she couldn't believe it.

She held a piece of paper in her hand—the will that had exposed the truth about her family's wealth—as the funeral procession made its way through Shanghai's streets.

She had always assumed that they were struggling to get by.

But now that she was aware that her father had been covertly investing in companies and properties, she realised that she was the heir to a sizable wealth.

The knowledge was too much to bear.

She felt disoriented and afraid at the notion of navigating the world of the affluent and privileged.

For the sake of her father, she was aware that she needed to be strong.

She watched as her father's casket was lowered into the ground at the cemetery once the procession reached there, feeling a sense of closure flood over her.

Now that she was by herself, her sole source of solace was her newfound fortune.

A hand placed on her shoulder as she turned to walk away.

As she looked up, a young man with a sharp suit and a sly smirk was standing in front of her.

He said, "Permit me to introduce myself.

"Young Master Fu here.

Then you, my love, must be the heiress I keep reading and hearing about."

THE Knight’s Hidden Princess

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.
