[One true pairing each + romance + ensemble cast + court politics + jianghu + fantasy]
[Note: This story has two main couples.]
One is a sheltered young lady who couldn't hurt a fly; the other is a young general who lives on the edge of a blade. Their betrothal binds their fates together.
One is a healer and swordswoman whose story grows more and more fantastical; the other is a dashing, spirited young general. Together, they prove that a forced match can be wonderfully sweet.
Two court ministers past the age of fifty find themselves surrounded by a boisterous group of young people.
There's a pair of single officials from the Court of Judicial Review who are always out watching the fun, an emperor who's half incompetent and half mediocre, and two consorts vying for favor in the harem.
There's also the self-assured leader of the Tianling Sect, plotting to unite the jianghu; three master-and-disciple performers who roam around doing magic tricks; the Black Cavalry's timid mastermind, scheming revenge; the Yin-Yang Sword Sect, just going through the motions; and the Qilin Pavilion, which thinks it's a match for Tianling's Twelve Sects...
Everyone has their own life, and every organization has its own goals. Everyone in this world is busy. Amid the hustle and bustle of life, they meet friends, lovers, enemies, and every possibility imaginable...
