Cen Qingyue is the Junzhu of the Huguo Marquis’s household in the Longyuan Kingdom. When her mother, a princess, took a poisoned arrow meant for her uncle the emperor, Qingyue was poisoned in the womb. She was sent to the Xuanwu Sect to be treated, where she learned martial arts to strengthen her body, as well as medicine and poisoncraft. A memorial from the border requested reinforcements. After learning the situation, she discussed it with her mother: to save her father and brothers, she had to first cure her second older brother, who was poisoned and remained unconscious. She couldn’t go to the border immediately afterward, so mother and daughter went to the palace to discuss things with the emperor. They made up an identity for her, calling her Cen Qingrui. Her imperial uncle held her and wept before personally seeing her off.
She spent three years at the border. At sixteen, she had been a little girl; now she was a general. During a battle between the two armies, someone in the court colluded with the Lanyue Kingdom and obstructed the dispatch of reinforcements. Cen Qingyue defended the city to the death and was pierced by thousands of arrows. With her dying breath, she saw her father and three brothers fighting desperately as they rushed to her...
After becoming a wandering spirit, she watched her coffin enter the capital. Darkness took her, and when she woke again, she was someone else! She absorbed the new memories and learned that this was a country called Huaguo, prosperous and peaceful, filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things...
She met him while appearing on a variety show, and her heart began to race...
Ji Shiyan never expected to meet her on that variety show. His heart raced, but a hospital checkup found nothing wrong. Only later did he realize it was love at first sight.
He was first drawn to her beauty, then admired her grace, and finally fell in love with her devotion.
