Ning Qingqian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi, has served her future mother-in-law for ten years, waiting only for her peerless fiancé, Xie Heng, to return victorious so they can marry.
Instead, he returns with a country girl, Su Wanru, and crushes all her sincerity with the words, “She saved my life, so I must take her as a favored concubine.”
Just as her heart is freezing over, on a snowy night she fishes a badly wounded, amnesiac man out of an icy lake.
He has forgotten who he is, but his martial arts are formidable and his mind unnervingly sharp. The only thing he remembers is to cling to her like a loyal dog, becoming her sharpest weapon.
They join forces to punish scoundrels and outwit the villainous man's family. He shields her beneath his wings and loves her with fervent, pure devotion.
Until his memories return
It turns out he is Yan Xiao, the enemy kingdom of Great Jin's powerful, cold-blooded and brutal prince, as well as its commander-in-chief. He also has a blood feud with her imperial brother!
He forgets every tender moment they shared, watches coldly as she becomes a war captive sent away for a political marriage, then personally locks her in a dungeon and subjects her to every kind of humiliation.
“Eldest Princess? You're nothing but a plaything in my hands.”
Just as her heart turns to ashes and she decides to flee for good, he suddenly regains his memories at the words, “Your Highness, she was once the person you risked your life to protect…”
The once-mad commander comes to his senses and embarks on an almost impossible journey to win her back.
Can he overcome the national enmity and blood feud, cross countless mountains and rivers, and win back the heart he shattered with his own hands?
