She was forced into a substitute marriage, and he watched with cold eyes. An agreed marriage stirred up the turmoil in the court and the world.
Su Ruojin, a concubine from the Office of the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had her biological mother die young and endured the harsh treatment of her stepmother, Lin, in order to survive. When her sister-in-law Su Zhilan took poison and injured herself to escape from the marriage, Su Ruojin was forced to marry Xiao Yuchen, the prince of Ningyuan Hou, and she was involved in the whirlpool of intrigue and life experience.
Xiao Yuchen is cold and arrogant, armed with heavy troops, and wary of this substitute marriage. The two reached an agreement - they were husband and wife, each getting what he wanted. He helped her find out the cause of her biological mother's death, and she took charge of the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion for him.
However, as the investigation deepens, Su Ruojin discovers that her biological mother is actually the missing Princess Mingyue of Beidi, and behind her life experience lies the blood feud and conspiracy between the two royal families. The Lin family colluded with Beidi to rebel against the party, intending to subvert the imperial court; above the imperial court, the "Night Owl" lurked, waiting for opportunities.
When the border war resumed and Xiao Yuchen was in danger, Su Ruojin disguised herself as a man and traveled thousands of miles to find her husband. In the test of blood and fire, the two secretly fell in love. However, the sudden recognition of King Beidi, the appearance of her twin sisters, and the truth about the late emperor's edict pushed her to choose between identity and loyalty again and again.
She is Su Ruojin, a descendant of the Beidi royal family and Princess Chaoyang of the Zhou Dynasty.
He is Xiao Yuchen, an iron-blooded general, and a husband who is willing to overturn the world for her.
In this game of intrigue and love, can she uncover the truth about her mother's death? Can he and she keep their vows to each other in troubled times?

The pace is not sluggish, the ideas are clear and smooth, and the language is natural. It is a good book that I found after looking for a long time.
I haven't read such a beautiful book in a long time ()
