The heroine's story:
In the early years of the Great Jin dynasty, the Grand Princess Dingguo narrowly missed out on becoming heir to the throne. At the late emperor's behest, she held power for a decade.
For ten years, she devoted herself tirelessly to the realm, saving it from disaster time and again.
When the emperor took power into his own hands, the great clans fought for influence, and the Grand Princess stepped down.
Her daughter, the Commandery Princess of Jiangdu, is single-mindedly determined to build her fortune and protect the people of her fief, so that everyone has “grain to eat, clothes when it's cold, and a home to live in.”
Until news arrives that she is to be married off to another country...
The hero's story:
