Li Muyao, Prince Mu of the Southern Tang, is the kingdom’s first female prince and is hailed as the second-greatest young general of her age.
Su Qi is one of the four hall masters of the Three Thousand Halls, the Southern Tang’s intelligence and assassination organization.
To uncover why her close friend Si Jing’er’s family was wiped out, Li Muyao returns to the capital alone, without waiting for permission. On the way, she encounters Su Qi, who has just completed a mission and is barely alive. Hoping to make it back to the capital safely, Su Qi clings to Li Muyao’s side.
The Tang Emperor orders his people to stop Li Muyao and prevent her from returning, yet a string of suspicious coincidences allows her to reach the capital. Her first news upon returning is that she is stripped of her title as Prince Mu and her post as a general, and told to be an idle prince instead...
No one expected the tough female prince to have a sweet side, or that Su Qi, who never cares about anything, would be kept awake at night thinking about a woman.
The obsessive Tang Emperor, the frail Prince Zhuo, and the old State Preceptor who pretends to be confused are each more than they seem.
The “Flower-Picking Case” flares up again, and she takes up her spear to pierce through the web of intrigue.
The female prince everyone believes in would never shirk her duty.
