Xia Yun had a dream. In it, she married into the Prince of Jing's manor, devoted herself heart and soul to serving the prince, and was ultimately murdered by him, dying along with her unborn child.
When she woke, Xia Yun found that her life was strangely following the exact course of her dream, step by step. She was still being forced to marry into the Prince of Jing's manor.
Remembering the tragic ending in her dream, Xia Yun decided to fake her death and escape the marriage.
Then she met Gu Qianyan.
At the time, Gu Qianyan was down on his luck, a poor young man everyone could bully.
But Xia Yun knew
that one day he would become the emperor everyone looked up to,
and trample the all-powerful Prince of Jing beneath his feet...
Xia Yun: I just wanted to find someone powerful to rely on...
Gu Qianyan: Only my empress gets to cling to me!
