Princess Rong Xi's birth mother died when she was very young, but thankfully, her father doted on her. That happiness didn't last long, though. By chance, she uncovered a secret her father had kept hidden for years. Heartbroken, she left the palace and met Luo Yin (Ye Jibai), a pristine zither player untouched by worldly concerns, in the pleasure quarters. One glance was enough to last a lifetime. Not wanting to disturb his peaceful life, Rong Xi returned to the palace after mastering her art. She curbed her temper and worked hard to grow, helping her father devise strategies while quietly waiting to accept whatever fate had in store for her.
After all, as a princess, it was her duty to protect the people and uphold her country.
But she never imagined that he would come looking for her himself, determined to stay by her side at any cost!
“Luo Yin, don’t you know we’re destined to have no future together?”
“Princess, what if I trade my life for one by your side?”
Later, the zither player set down his instrument and charged onto the battlefield with a sword. Everyone said General Ye had the whole world in his heart. Only those closest to him knew that he wanted peace across the land so she could be happy as herself, and stay by his side without worry.
I came for you, grew because of you, and will protect the world with you!
