Changbai

[Scheming Young Lord and a Possessive, Cunning Antagonist] [Mutual Salvation]

[Power Struggles Across the Nine Provinces] [Putting Scumbags in Their Place] [Happy Ending]

Because of the words, "The Way of Heaven cannot be bound; the Human Emperor comes from the west," she was confined in Changbai for years, robbed of her freedom and abandoned by everyone. She became a frail invalid, perpetually dependent on medicine.

Those who loved her used her and deceived her, even sacrificing her life for the greater good.

But the one who hated her taught her, in an almost cruel way, to turn her own coldness and selfishness into weapons to protect herself.

Selfish and cold-hearted, she nevertheless entered the game alone to fulfill her foster father's dying wish, approaching the bewitching, reckless, brutal, murderous Rakshasa in the Tomb Canal with ulterior motives.

She never imagined that amid their schemes and torment, their pretense would become real, and they would become each other's only salvation.

Before the Battle of the Jiang River,

he pushed her, powerless to fight, into the crowd, offering ten gold coins to anyone who would lash her with thorny branches until she was covered in wounds. In front of several painters, he humiliated her and made her wish she were dead.

After the Battle of the Jiang River,

he said, "A Yi, look at me."

He said, "I'll listen to my wife."

He said, "You are my four seasons."

From then on, everyone knew:

With her by his side, the Nine Provinces were all in the palm of his hand.
