She had a quiet life of her own, but Mu Lingxiao's desire for her dragged her into his world by force. Mu Lingxiao was the emperor's younger brother, and he fell in love with Lu Zhiyun at first sight. Ignoring all opposition, he forced her to marry him. Though Lu Zhiyun was attached to someone else, she had no power to resist.
As their married life went on, their feelings grew increasingly complicated. Mu Lingxiao's love for Lu Zhiyun grew ever stronger, but she remained oblivious. Still, the threads of fate wound tighter and tighter around them, and through a series of mishaps, Lu Zhiyun bore him a son and a daughter. She thought this would be a fresh start, but then the rebels stormed the capital.
In the end, when the enemy launched a surprise attack, Lu Zhiyun fell in a pool of blood while protecting Mu Lingxiao. Cradling her body as it slowly turned cold, Mu Lingxiao finally understood that one wrong decision had separated him from the woman he loved forever. But nothing could be undone. Only endless regret and sorrow remained, drifting through this war-torn world.
