Chu Yuan thought that, as an unloved princess of Southern Liang, simply making it through life in peace would be a tremendous blessing. She never expected the title of princess sent to marry for peace to fall squarely on her shoulders out of nowhere.
She had assumed that once she arrived in Northern Qi, she would just have to fulfill her duty as a diplomatic bride and put an end to the war between the two countries. But her husband, Gu Qian, had already caught the eye of a Northern Qi princess long ago. Marrying into his household was like stepping straight into a hornet's nest...
One Northern Qi princess would have been trouble enough, but there was also a beautiful maid in the household who had her eye on Chu Yuan's husband and was constantly pulling petty tricks. It was enough to drive anyone mad.
Worse still, just as Chu Yuan finally overcame the crisis before her, she uncovered an even greater conspiracy...
How should she choose between the person she once loved deeply and the one she loves now?
Perhaps this whole life had been a mistake from the start. One wrong step, and every step after it went wrong.
