Huangfu Yunyao awakened too late. By the time her memories of her past life returned, she had already been sent to a foreign country to marry for political alliance. With no other choice, she took on the responsibility of her people and homeland.
But really, what kind of life could a princess sent to marry off by a defeated nation expect to have?
And in Wei, there were plenty of enemies of her father, the king, making every step even harder. She endured one hardship after another.
Lu Zhi was a man who stirred complicated feelings in Yunyao. He was her husband. He had shown her tenderness, but also hurt her. Whenever she and his family came into conflict, he hesitated. They had been married for three years, and tormented each other for all three. He let his childhood sweetheart frame and humiliate Yunyao time and again, causing her to lose her child, and even had her maid beaten to death. How could she not hate him?
She wished the Wei kingdom would fall, and that Lu Zhi and Zhao Yan would both lose their heads!
Then she noticed that the taciturn young shadow guard had been quietly looking after her. Yunyao came up with a plan: she would steal her husband’s shadow guard away and make him switch sides!
Later, when Lu Zhi finally made up his mind to choose Huangfu Yunyao, he realized it was too late. She seemed to have fallen for someone else, a lowly little shadow guard!
He was furious, driven mad. He was a prince of a great kingdom, so how could he be worse than a mere shadow guard?
