To defy fate and escape karma, every shackle binds the true self.
To follow fate and accept karma, today I finally know who I am.
Hoping to uncover the mystery of her birth and find her family, Cang Zhu, a traveling physician from Liang who has lived as a man for more than a decade, decides to take her cousin, Princess Dayar’s place and travel to Zhao for a political marriage. She never expects the journey to draw her into the succession struggles of both Liang and Zhao. With no other choice, she relies on her wit and courage to meet each challenge as it comes. As the conflict unfolds, Cang Zhu discovers that everyone around her is hiding something, while the truth of her own identity gradually comes to light. Along the way, she finds family and friendship. But who will be her final companion: Xiao Yihuan, the sixth prince, seemingly dissolute but truly brilliant; Huo Shiyan, the valiant and utterly loyal General Who Guards the North; or Zhongli Xuan, the dashing and righteous leader of the Yun Sect?
The story is very exciting, with each link intertwined with each other, making it impossible to stop watching. I applaud the heroine for her bravery, and also applaud these sharp and intelligent characters in the story.
Different from traditional palace fights, the fight is no longer just between women, nor is it limited to a palace wall. The story of two generations, the grievances and resentments of the two generations, as the marriage unfolds, the plots are interlocking and very exciting. With the character of the heroine, no matter who she is with, she will definitely be happy. I can only say that the order of appearance in life is really important!
Do you think palace fights only happen between women? That would be a big mistake. Only stories about strong men and women are interesting. Since ancient times, there have been no brothers in the royal family. The heroine is involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne. She is deeply involved in the whirlpool but she is able to strategize. It's exciting! The story is not only as high as the court, but also as far as the rivers and lakes. The stories of the side characters are also very touching and beautiful!
