Yue Wanqing, the second daughter of the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, was dearly loved by her family. But when her father and brothers were framed and killed, she swore to uncover the truth and avenge them.
Mo Jiuchuan, the ninth prince of the Mo Mountain Kingdom, wanted no part in the struggle for the throne. He became a notorious wastrel prince, but secretly had his own way of surviving.
While assassinating a corrupt official, Wanqing “happened” to meet Yunchuan at the Yun Family Apothecary. The two hit it off at once. Through a twist of fate, Wanqing was betrothed to Mo Jiuchuan, leaving her torn: what was to become of her and Yunchuan?
Yunchuan urged her to marry his master, Mo Jiuchuan. It would be a marriage in name only, and Mo Jiuchuan promised that the two of them could be a real couple in secret.
Sure enough, from the day they wed, she never saw the Ninth Prince.
After a remark from Mo Jiuchuan's cousin Wen Ning, Wanqing uncovered the “shocking deception” Yunchuan had concealed. She resolved to divorce him, leave the capital, and travel alone to Qiuyue Pavilion to seek her master's help...
Her senior fellow disciple Su Xingyun had been secretly in love with her for years. Now that he had another chance, could he win her heart?
Mo Jiuchuan pursues his wife across thousands of miles, helping her uncover the truth!
So she returned. If the Crown Prince refuses to act with honor, why shouldn't we take his place...
