A powerful minister vs an unlucky princess in troubled times.
Meng Yaoshu is the youngest daughter of the leader of the Nanzhao Kingdom. Her favorite thing to do is to ride her third brother's horse to hunt in the mountains. By chance, she saved a hunter named Xiaojiu who was dying from the miasma. When they got along day and night, the relationship between the two warmed up for a time. However, when foreign invaders invaded and the two countries were at war, he suddenly disappeared, and there was no news from him. Three years later, sixteen-year-old Yaoshu was ordered to go to Beijing to study. She suddenly discovered that the prince's young master who often hit her on the hand and made her copy books looked exactly the same as the Xiaojiu who begged her to go out to play.
In the autumn of the first year of Longren, there was heavy rain, and Emperor Feng issued an imperial edict, granting Princess Nanzhao and King Bei'an to get married two years later.
"It is indeed hard to disobey the sacred command. You cannot go all-out against Nanzhao, but I don't want to be a slave anymore and push you into the abyss. As a master, I will teach you poems and books and also protect you from the wind and snow. If you don't want to get married, two years will be enough for me to establish a new king."
