The first time Shen Zhining heard Xiao Yan's name was in the mourning hall.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he needs a queen with no one behind him, and she needs an emperor who can keep her alive.

Until that day, a corruption case occurred in Jiangnan, and clues pointed directly to the border, shocking both the government and the public.

Xiao Yan thought he needed her, but in fact it was Shen Zhining who chose him.
