[Historical romance + love and hate + the general's legitimate daughter]
[One trapped on the throne, one wandering to the ends of the earth]
The new emperor usurped the throne and reshuffled the court. The Su family, who guarded Beili and had earned so much merit that they threatened the throne, went from pillars of the nation to traitors accused of colluding with the enemy overnight.
Su Qin Nian crawled back from the battlefield, where mountains of corpses and rivers of blood had nearly swallowed her. Behind her lay the tragic deaths of her father and brothers, and the near-annihilation of the Su army. She shed her armor, changed into plain clothes, and, holding the memorial tablets of her loved ones, walked step by step into a court teeming with wolves and tigers beneath the first snow.
The Third Prince Shen Qingran, who had once exchanged vows with her beneath the stars, now sat upon the imperial throne. He needed the old military connections and civil officials behind her, but beneath his tender, affectionate facade lurked the unfathomable schemes of an emperor.
Was her former lover a comrade or a mortal enemy? Was her fated rival an enemy or an ally? This was no game of romance, but a deadly contest in which one side had to die.
