Lin Lang was once the only daughter of a great general who guarded the frontier. Dashing and defiant, she had been renowned throughout the land since her youth, with none to rival her glory.
Tuoba Hong became emperor as a young man. He took Wei Rurui, the Grand Tutor’s granddaughter, as his empress, and made Lin Lang, the general’s only daughter, his consort, granting her supreme honor and boundless affection.
Yet after entering the palace, Lin Lang was schemed against by her childhood sweetheart. The emperor and the Imperial Preceptor plotted to use the Lin family as stepping stones, all to eliminate their political rivals.
Lin Lang was framed for adultery and took part in a coup to wipe out the opposing faction, but the entire Lin family was still put to death.
Only after Lin Lang died did she learn the many hidden truths.
Given another life, she had intended to protect her father and kin and stay safely on the frontier. But how could a destiny already written be so easily changed?
Lin Lang swore a solemn oath: in this life, she would protect the entire Lin family. If anyone came for her, she would kill them; if any spirit came for her, she would destroy it.
