The wind and sand at Yanmen Pass carried frost and snow for fifteen years. Shen Jinghong grew up from a young girl to the princess of Zhenbei who could draw a three hundred kilogram strong bow.
She guarded Yanmen with her father, Shen Ce, Marquis of Zhenbei. She killed the Turkic vanguard with a spear in front of her tent. She shot down the spying enemy scouts with her bow on the tower. Her silver armor reflected the cold moon at the border. In the eyes of the soldiers and the people, she was "General Shen" who was more reliable than men.
But when the news of Yanmen's victory arrived in Chang'an, what was waiting for him was not a gold or jade reward, but a coldly worded imperial edict - summoning the Shen family and his daughter to return to the capital immediately. The four words "high power and master" have always been the sharpest sword in the emperor's heart.
On the way back to Beijing, Shen Jinghong suddenly met Xiao Jue, the powerful regent. The man was dressed in a black brocade robe with dark patterns, and his hair was bound by a golden crown. His face was so handsome that it was almost eerie, but his eyes were filled with the coldness of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He was an important minister of the late emperor Tuogu. He held the military power of the Twelve Guards in the capital. He once killed a rebellious prince in front of the palace, and deposed three corrupt ministers in one night. The officials and people in the capital feared him like a tiger, and privately called him "Jade-faced Yama". Only Shen Jinghong glimpsed that the half-winter plum blossom embroidered on the sleeves of his black robe was an old pattern from when the late emperor was hiding in his residence.
The plot is super good and worth watching
