Shen Qinghe was a maid, but the royal family of Chu switched her with someone else and sent her to Qin to marry into its ruthless court. She had hoped to live out her life quietly as an invisible nobody. Instead, she was drawn into the whirlpool of power: a humble ruler who was once a boy, consumed by hatred born of love; a fearless, lofty God of War who fell for love; and a brilliant minister driven mad by love. Every step she took was shaped by the interference of those in power. Shen Qinghe gazed into the distance, toward the home she had left behind, and could only smile bitterly. There was no going back... She had still been swept into the whirlpool of power.
The harmonious ruler and his ministers, the close friends who understood one another... In the end, it had all been a dream, lost to the long river of history.

This is not a story about a strong female lead, so some things may differ from the historical record. There may also be languages or objects that did not exist at the time, though I'll try to keep things as historically accurate as possible. Thank you all for your support.
