[Strong Female Lead + Political Intrigue + Revenge + Fake Heiress + Household Rivalry]
Ten years ago, the Northern Qi army breached the Zhou capital and abducted the emperor and more than a hundred members of the imperial household.
When the Northern Qi army marched south, the fiercely loyal General of the North wanted to lead his troops to the emperor's aid. But an imperial edict stopped him: “Defend the border. Do not lead the army back.”
However, not long after the new emperor of Zhou took the throne, the General of the North and his entire family were massacred on charges of “amassing troops, allowing the emperor's palace to be breached, and plotting to rebel and seize the throne.” Amid the chaos, only his eight-year-old daughter was rescued.
The girl fled south, facing death time and again along the way. At last, she was rescued by Du Ruolin, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty, and her daughter. They had been abandoned at a deserted manor and were gravely ill. After the mother and daughter died, the girl took the name Lu Xuening and passed herself off as Du Ruolin's daughter, returning to the Marquis of Loyalty's residence.
Later, Lu Xuening discovered that the General of the North's family had been framed. To clear the names of her loyal family, she had no choice but to cure her gravely ill elder legitimate sister and bring back the former emperor, who was imprisoned in Northern Qi.
When the truth came to light and her entire family was restored to its honorable name, in all the vast world, there was only one person by her side.
