In her previous life, the Song family fought through every obstacle to protect the emperor and secure his dominion. They traveled far to the frontier to fight the northern enemy, only to be falsely accused of treason by treacherous officials. With no reinforcements sent, her father and brothers were ambushed deep in enemy territory, and all a thousand of their elite warriors perished.
Grief tore at her heart until she wept blood. Unable to kill her enemies with her own hands, she was abandoned by her fiancé and eventually strangled to death in prison.
Reborn into a new life, she would no longer sit back and wait. Everyone who had humiliated or harmed her would pay. From quietly gathering her strength to stunning the world, she also stirred the heart of that man, a heart that had once roared like a raging storm.
Courtier A: My family has a son who is twenty years old, handsome and refined. He can charm guests in the parlor and cook in the kitchen. He sincerely wishes to marry her.
Courtier B: My son is the one of outstanding virtue and talent, and the best match for her.
Young Official Pei (quietly getting things done): The betrothal gifts are already inside. She’s mine.
Why aren't they together?
