Yun Zhi, the concubine of the general's palace, was forced to marry on her behalf after her sister-in-law defied the decree and ran away from marriage, becoming a chess piece abandoned by her family. Her husband is the legendary frail and mediocre second prince Xiao Yu, a "waste" who was forgotten by the royal family and imprisoned in a remote bamboo forest to live in seclusion.
A wedding dress, a transaction. She wanted to survive, he wanted to escape the world. When we first met, he was coughing lightly in his wheelchair, his smile was warm but did not reach his eyes: "Princess, from now on in this small world, you and I will be each other's barrier, okay?"
She thought this was the end of her life as a prisoner, until late one night, she accidentally bumped into him practicing swordplay under the moonlight - his sword was as bright as a rainbow, his figure was like a dragon, how could he still be half sick and frail? He looked back, his eyes filled with sharpness and murderous intent that she had never seen before.
"If I say, I am not the kind of person you think..."
"If I say so, I am not the kind of person you see."
Two people wearing heavy masks were forced to join hands in the shocking mystery of the court and the world amid suspicion and temptation. The ruthless prince is pressing forward step by step, the enemy countries at the border are eyeing, and the forces of the rivers and lakes are surging... They give their backs to each other, and in the crisis of life and death, they get a glimpse of each other's hidden sincerity.
When he protected her without fear of threats again and again, she resolutely stood up and stood by his side: "This time, I will protect you."
When he gave up the power he had at his fingertips for her, she pushed him to the throne: "What I want is a hero who can end this troubled world."
From a stranger couple who didn't trust each other, to a soul mate who depended on each other for life and death. They used the country as a chess piece and their true feelings as their focus to compose a long song of troubled times intertwined with intrigue and affection.
The emotions are delicate and the words are warm!
