Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"The Scarlet Devils is associated with somebody who is a member of the imperial court," Matthew said as he passed over a list to Harper, with records of the assassination dealings of the Scarlet Devils over the years. Most of the dealings were related to the assassinations of the officials in the court. Of course, some of the names on the list were unknown figures, and some others were pretty famous figures in the world of martial artists.
