The Empress Thinks My Wild Methods Are Too Underhanded

The Empress Thinks My Wild Methods Are Too Underhanded Plot:

Chu Yan, a disgraced prince, infiltrates Empress Jiang Ning's shadow guard camp under the alias "Wild Dog" to avenge his family. For his first mission, he uses a "beggar blockade trick" to steal and replace treasonous letters, saving Jiang Ning from a palace coup—only to be scolded: "Underhanded, too wild!" But afterward, whether it's a neighboring country forcing a marriage with a fake princess or a royal doctor poisoning her slowly, Chu Yan always breaks the deadlock with the "most unrefined" ways: having a folk opera troupe pretend to be immortals issuing decrees, or swapping poison with sugar to turn the tables. Jiang Ning throws his wine jar while secretly covering him with her fox fur; Chu Yan pretends to be a greedy thief while wrapping her lost pearl hairpin in silk three times. Until enemies swing a knife at Jiang Ning, and Chu Yan leaps in front of her—only then does Jiang Ning realize: the man she always thought "too wild" has long tied his life to her empire.
