The Ambition of the Swan

[Historical Political Intrigue + Two Powerful Leads + Mutual Healing + Serious Tone] [Ghost Valley's Young Master Yu Wenyan x The Power Behind the Northern Border, Su Muhua] In the twenty-third year of the Jianchu era, war broke out and stars fell from the sky. Yu Wenyan, one of the Twin Pillars of Qingshan, sat in silence for three days and nights before resolutely abandoning his studies and hurrying to Ghost Valley. At the time, Crown Prince Li Qi was gravely wounded. To fulfill his grand ambitions, Yu Wenyan resolved to uncover the mystery behind the defeat in the southern territories and unravel the many doubts surrounding the palace. Crown Princess Su Muhua was the true power behind the Northern Border and had shared a deep bond with the late Crown Prince Li Qi. After losing her husband in a single stroke, she embarked on a path of vengeance. That was how the two met. Through one struggle after another and one contest after another, Yu Wenyan and Su Muhua fought side by side. From secret chambers to the imperial court, from the martial world to the battlefield, they dismantled the aristocratic clans' schemes one by one, finally clearing Li Qi's name and restoring justice to Great Han. They stir up the winds of change, tread as if on thin ice, and plan each step with care. They wait only for dawn, when they can return to the carefree days of youth. A bond between kindred spirits, like two great rivers flowing together, forged as they vow to solve a case and avenge the dead; a clash in the imperial court between new reforms and old ways, humble-born officials and aristocratic clans, as darkness gives way to light; and a moving love story between a person incapable of feeling and someone who has closed their heart, overcoming countless obstacles to grow old together.
