"Either let me go, or take my body for a marriage ceremony."
On her wedding day, the most proud princess of Li Kingdom put a gold hairpin against her throat and jumped off the wedding carriage.
She ran away in the wind and snow until she ran into the arms of the boy chopping firewood - his name was Ye Sheng. He was a homeless man with nothing, but he gave her half of the only half piece of wheat cake in his arms.
He didn't know that she was a princess who escaped from marriage, and she didn't know that he was a blade left behind by the world.
Two desperadoes, from the snowy night in the border town to the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, from the lonely smoke outside the Great Wall to the top of the snow-capped mountains.
He taught her to hold a sword, and she taught him to read; he carved hairpins for her from willow branches, and she mended his shabby clothes.
Until the killer broke through the door of the ruined temple, until a poisonous arrow shot at Ye Sheng——
She finally understood: this escape was never about two people.
Her body flows with the most secret blood of the Li Kingdom royal family - Xuanyin Qi, which is the only key to unlocking the treasure left behind by the founding emperor of the Li Kingdom.
And her gentle mother buried a shocking secret twenty years ago: there has never been more than one Princess Liman.
