Adapted from The Pillow Book

Chu Yu’s father died in battle, and her badly wounded elder brother told her that there was more to the story than met the eye. She vowed to uncover the truth. The Wei family suffered a crushing defeat in a battle, and only its youngest son, Wei Yun, survived. Chu Yu married into the Wei family and began her investigation under the guise of her late eldest brother’s widow. At first, Wei Yun was wary of her, but as they spent time together, she won him over. Chu Yu and Wei Yun faced death time and again, and their feelings for each other gradually grew. Together, they weathered life-and-death trials, fought off foreign enemies, pursued the truth, and joined hands to protect their homeland.
