Mo Lixiao, a princess sent to marry into the Yan Kingdom from the Qi Kingdom, crossed mountains and rivers to reach her destination, only for her intended groom to kick the bucket the day before their wedding.
Her intended husband was dead, but the agreement between the two kingdoms still stood.
With a single imperial decree, the emperor betrothed her to Si Linchen, the heir to the current Prince of War and the Commander of the Imperial Guards.
They agreed on three rules: they would divorce after one year.
Over the course of that year, they were evenly matched, and a fierce game of power began! Both stood at the pinnacle of power, and neither would give way. As she put it: “It’s more reassuring to keep the initiative in my own hands!”
But her radiant smile struck straight into his heart.
