Feng Yazhi, the Prime Minister’s legitimate daughter, is renowned in the capital for her gentle, waterlike temperament. Every gesture radiates elegance. Her brows are like distant mountains brushed with ink, her eyes like autumn waters filled with feeling, and her beauty seems almost otherworldly.
Few people know that she was born with a rebellious streak. Beneath her tender, gentle appearance, her swordplay is swift as the wind, and her martial skills are formidable. She conducts business with effortless grace, expertly laying out ingenious schemes.
On the trade route to the Western Regions, she unexpectedly rescues Xiao Lingmo, a great general guarding the frontier. After caring for him for three months, the two fall in love and pledge themselves to each other, but she leaves without saying goodbye.
Then, in a sudden turn of events,
Feng Yazhi’s family falls into decline, and she is forced into a marriage alliance with the present crown prince, a man known for his extravagance and debauchery. She is on her way to escort the prince and his lover back to their residence when her carriage accidentally collides with a lavishly decorated one. The person inside is none other than the man she left without a word!
And the crown prince calls him... Uncle.
Two years later, when Xiao Lingmo learns that she is to marry the debauched and immoral crown prince, he goes mad and forces her to break off the engagement.
