A Fated Love in Splendid Silks

Su Jinyao was a carefree young lady from a prominent family. One day, she happened to meet Xiao Yichen at a temple fair, and they fell in love at first sight. But their path to love was full of hardships.

Xiao Yichen’s outstanding military record aroused the empress’s and the crown prince’s suspicion. The empress framed Su Jinyao’s father and had him thrown into prison. To save her father, Su Jinyao ran from place to place seeking help, while Xiao Yichen aided her in secret.

Thanks to Xiao Yichen’s efforts, Master Su was exonerated, but Su Jinyao’s family came under pressure from various factions. Defying everyone’s opposition, Xiao Yichen remained steadfastly by her side.

Then war broke out at the border, and Xiao Yichen was ordered to lead the army. Su Jinyao prayed silently at home, facing all kinds of harassment and danger in the meantime.

Xiao Yichen fought bravely on the battlefield, only to be framed and driven into a desperate situation. At the critical moment, his advisor Lin Yu and his soldiers risked their lives to save him.

After victory in the war, Xiao Yichen returned to the capital, only to find that the political situation had changed drastically. The empress and crown prince were trying to seize power. Xiao Yichen and Su Jinyao joined forces to expose their conspiracy.

To reward Xiao Yichen, the emperor planned to arrange a marriage for him, but the intended bride was not Su Jinyao. Xiao Yichen firmly refused, declaring that he loved only Su Jinyao.

But no sooner had one crisis passed than another arose. Jealous of Xiao Yichen, several court officials joined forces to frame him again.

Su Jinyao and Xiao Yichen supported one another through hardship and never abandoned each other. In the end, they resolved the crisis, and the emperor was moved by their true love and agreed to their marriage.

But just as they were preparing for their wedding, a mysterious force appeared, intent on destroying their happiness.
