The once world-famous appearance was ruined by poison, the fine clothes were reduced to tatters, and the proud bones were broken under the humiliation of the barbarians. But the royal dignity in her bones and blood keeps her from giving in - even if she is abandoned like worn shoes, she is still a lone phoenix who never surrenders in difficult circumstances.
The border guard general Xiao Xinglan was like a silent black iron sword, becoming her last shield by adhering to etiquette. Knowing that she had no choice but to shoulder the mission of two countries, she could only protect each other silently, burying her forbidden feelings deep in the snow in the north.
