[Stand-in + political intrigue + two powerful leads]
Free-spirited sect leader × charming prince
She was once a beloved darling, pampered by everyone. Now she has become a ruthless killer with blood on her hands.
Her country has fallen, and her family is gone. Where can she go from here?
After their wedding, the princess abruptly changes her ways, unaware that beneath the familiar face, everything has changed.
At Biwu Temple, Master Huineng asks, “Between the martial world and the throne, which will you choose?”
He replies, “If she wants the martial world, I’ll give it to her. If she wants the throne, I’ll give it to her. If she wants both, I’ll give her both.”
Master Huineng: “Amitabha. Wuyou sees Wangchuan, yet forgets. Good, good.”
Xiao Hanchen: I made the mess, so I’ll deal with it. If she makes a mess, I’ll deal with that too.
Xiao Hanchen: She is the person I love most in this world.
Qi Xufeng: So I’m the one who loves him most in this world.
Li Feng: I know how lucky I am. Even when my family and country were lost, I was still loved. My sister was born free, yet she was trapped by the calamity of our country and the hatred against our family.
Wuji: Life is short, and she loves sweets. They make her happy, so I give them to her, even though I don’t like sweets myself. Seeing her enjoy them makes me happy.
Wuji: Even if she’s the greatest martial artist alive, I’ll still worry about her.
Wei Shan: Marry me and be the wife of my stronghold.
Su Yueji: I used to despise him for his tyranny and vileness. But later, I found myself in his legendary, disillusioned ideal kingdom.
Lin Jue: So many people rose to fame and success because of me, but what about me? I won the Li Kingdom for you and made the Qing Kingdom bow to you, yet you pointed every accusation at me and even had someone replace me to satisfy your ambition. As far as I’m concerned, you’re no father. To your people, you’re no king.
