While fleeing assassins, the only legitimate princess of the Zhenghuang Kingdom ends up by chance as an unnoticed, unloved young lady in a general’s household.
Never mind having to adjust to this fate, but what is with all the schemes in this inner household? Ruined virtue? Mutilated limbs? Frame-ups? Trapped in Ghost Valley?
She keeps a low profile, yet it only brings her more attempts on her life? Fine, then she’ll do as they wish and make a grand entrance!
Under the name of a good-for-nothing young lady, she somehow becomes a celebrated talent in the Nanyin Kingdom. Everyone says she is plain, and no one knows how peerlessly beautiful she is beneath her veil. The daughter of a traitor, accused of deceiving the emperor? Yet she is the one officially chosen to become the crown prince’s future consort.
An imperial decree orders the general’s entire household executed? Dressed in white mourning clothes, she strides alone into court. The general is gravely ill and no one can lead the troops? She dons her armor and leads the army south.
She excels at letters and painting, able to forge the finest masterpiece in the land. She is also a warrior who can command armies and shape the world, displaying all her brilliance.
Su Qinghuan: “Your Highness the Crown Prince is noble beyond compare. Even eight lifetimes’ worth of virtue wouldn’t make me worthy of you. So let’s break off the engagement.”
The Nanyin Emperor: “Such an extraordinary woman must be kept close. Break off the engagement? Never.”
Su Qinghuan: “...” Then what about Prince Ling?
And so...
“Prince Ling, please mind your boundaries. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” Su Qinghuan is held tightly in the man’s arms.
