Before the age of fifteen, she was Cai Zi, the most cherished young lady in a wealthy merchant family.
After turning fifteen, she became Zhao Xiyue, whom the reigning prime minister took a fancy to and forcibly betrothed himself to.
She slipped away and traveled for two years, securing powerful backing for herself.
When she returned, ready to marry the prime minister and become his wife, her birth mother appeared and revealed her true identity: her father and brothers had been framed, the nation was on the verge of destruction, and her mother begged her to save them with her dying breath.
Donning armor, she rescued the people from disaster. Once again, she left him behind to drive out invaders and root out corrupt officials, surviving one brush with death after another. Whenever she looked back, he was always standing behind her.
Fan Yanbo said, “Go do what you want. I’ll weather every storm by your side.”
Zhao Xiyue replied, “Prime Minister, we’ll face every storm together.”
