Ultimate Tragedy | Two Powerhouses in Conflict | A Heartbreaking Song of Political Intrigue
"Jing Lan"
They were childhood sweethearts who once vowed to build a world of peace and prosperity together. She chose to defend the frontier, riding into battle and forging a path toward her ideals through military achievements. Only after he framed her with his own hands and sent her to prison did she realize that the web of the imperial court was far deadlier than blades on the battlefield.
"Ji Zi'an"
He willingly sank into the abyss of political intrigue, becoming the dreaded Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He wove an enormous net and eliminated her political enemies one by one, but also left her heart battered and broken. Everyone said he had betrayed the vows of their youth. Only he knew: "Clean hands can't protect this crumbling empire, much less protect her."
"Synopsis"
Jing Lan, the God of War of the Northern Frontier, had won so many merits that she alarmed the emperor, and was summoned back to the capital by imperial decree. Her former lover, Ji Zi'an, had become the emperor's trusted aide and Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
At a palace banquet, he personally filled her cup with poisoned wine. When the frontier was under attack, he personally cut off her supply lines. She accused him of breaking his word; he laughed at her naivete.
Only after she was accused of treason did he spill blood on the Golden Throne Hall, taking his own life to win her a chance to survive. His final words were: "My general shouldn't be trapped in a cage. She belongs back on the battlefield."
And when she finally donned her armor and charged into the enemy ranks, she understood the meaning of his final gaze.
It turned out that he had spent his whole life not paving her way, but laying every path before her, including... the path that led away from him.
