Shen Qiao was born into the prestigious Wen family of Yunzhou, but an unexpected incident forced her to accept an imperial marriage decree.
[The Two-Faced Commandery Princess vs. the Cold General]
Born into the Wen family of Yunzhou, Shen Qiao grew up with young general Pei Jue. She made several advances, but came to believe that Pei Jue truly did not like her. Disheartened, she accepted the Emperor’s marriage decree, only to become entangled in the princes’ struggle for the throne and other affairs. Shen Qiao’s sect was none other than Jiufeng Mountain, which had emerged whenever turmoil struck over the past several centuries. For the sake of the people and the realm, she decided to stay, choose a wise ruler, and usher in a golden age. Pei Jue stood firmly by her side as well. The two endured assassinations, epidemics, military coups, and many other life-and-death crises together, yet a host of obstacles kept them apart. After a storm over breaking off their engagement, Pei Jue experienced the anguish of losing Shen Qiao and the joy of finding her again. He swore he would never let her leave again.
“Qiao Qiao, as long as you’re safe, I’ll protect the prosperous age you want.”
For years, Shen Qiao had plotted and planned, but all she wanted was for him to love her. “If you can protect this prosperous age, surely protecting me too won’t be a problem.”
Great, okay?
