The Bride Who Counted Days
THE BRIDE WHO COUNTED DAYS
She counted the days until her husband was meant to die. No one taught her to count the ones she'd want to keep.
The Seventh Needle has never failed a killing. Raised from the ashes of a burned town into the deadliest assassin the Silk Loom ever made, she is given a husband and a number: twenty-nine days to marry General Lu Zheng — the butcher who torched her hometown — and make his death look like the work of Heaven.
But the man she was taught to hate sleeps like she does, facing the door. The order that damns him is a forgery. And the woman who raised her on that lie is the one who lit the fire.
To save her husband, she must turn her blade on her own mother — and confess, before the whole court, what she is.
A slow-burn historical romance of assassins, court intrigue, and a woman who stops counting toward a death and starts counting toward a life. East-Asian-inspired, no magic. Fade-to-black.
