She disguises herself as a stable hand and infiltrates the military camp, all to assassinate the tyrant and avenge her family’s slaughter!

Xiao Jinse disguises herself as a man and lies low in enemy territory, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But the one gravely wounded and on the brink of death isn’t the old emperor. It’s a handsome prince who has fallen out of favor. By a twist of fate, she ends up warming his bed in the nude and becomes his “savior”?

To make matters worse, the general searching the camp is the “fiancé” whose horse she once stole along with his jade pendant: Ye Linfeng, son of the enemy who destroyed her family! He recognizes her, but keeps silent and protects her.

Every step on her path to revenge is fraught with danger. The cold, stern emperor raises her to the position of his young attendant, and their relationship turns intimate beneath the lanterns.

When she is crowned the emperor’s beloved consort, she finally realizes the depth of his love, only to discover the keepsake pouch in the general’s hand...

As war reignites and conspiracies mount, the child in her womb and the love of the past both become weapons. Where will she point her sword in the end? Can the son of her enemy redeem his love with his life?
