When the emperor of the Daxia Dynasty suddenly died, the court was plunged into turmoil. Princess Xia Mingyue was away on an outing and failed to protect the family of her childhood sweetheart, the young general Chu Mufeng. Her beloved lost his family and was thrown into prison.
To help him get revenge, Xia Mingyue transformed from an innocent, pampered princess into a shrewd and scheming regent. For a time, she wielded power over the entire realm, unmatched by anyone.
With the princess’s help, her childhood sweetheart Chu Mufeng avenged his family. Though he now held great power, he was willing to take up arms for the people and the woman he loved.
For you, I am willing to plunge into the court’s treacherous schemes. For you, I am willing to rule the realm.
For you, I am willing to give up the realm within my grasp. For you, I am willing to spill blood on the battlefield.
Childhood sweethearts are where fate begins; love and understanding are what keep it alive; and selfless devotion is the truest commitment.
May we find the one who is our heart’s desire, and stay together until our hair turns white.
