The hairpin fell down, the father's power betrayed his alliance, and Nie Ying'er fell from the legitimate daughter of the hairpin to an orphan in troubled times overnight - her mother was abandoned, the clan turned against her, and the troubled times were coming.
A woman's survival is like stepping on a sharp edge. She has shed all her beauty and tenderness, and struggles for her life in the whirlpool of power and the flames of war between her family and her country. Zhang Moshan once sacrificed his life to protect her in the light of swords and blood, but for the righteousness of "sacrifice one person to save a city", he pushed her to a desperate situation. Love and pain are like vines entangled, inseparable; Sheng Zeshan came with calculations, but he showed true warmth at every step of the camp. His protection hid temptation, and his warmth was wrapped in edge.
With tenacity as her armor and cunning as her blade, she broke out of her cocoon in the triple tempering of betrayal of family, pull of love, and righteousness of family and country. She transformed from a clinging vine into a strong tree that can stand alone in the wind and rain, and lived her life as a sonorous beauty born of tempering in troubled times.
