Summary
The Best Under Heaven
After my mother died, I couldn’t stand another day at home.
In a fit of rage, I went to assassinate the emperor and won us a round of Nine-Clan Match-Three.
My entire family went to prison. I was the only one who escaped alive.
I knelt before my father’s grave and kowtowed. “Wait for me, Father. Your daughter will avenge you all!”
Later, I married the wrong man. My husband had a change of heart and wanted to divorce me.
So I went to assassinate the emperor again. My husband’s family won a round of Nine-Clan Match-Three too.
Once again, I escaped alive.
Finally, I returned to my sect, only to be framed for a crime.
I was just planning another attempt on the emperor when an imperial decree arrived. My entire sect was to be wiped out.
The emperor said, “Next time you want someone dead, just tell me. Stop trying to assassinate me.”
