The princess of the subjugated country × the powerful official of the enemy country, ten years of blood feud and the love of her life, she wants the country, he wants her
Shen Zhaoning (18 years old), Princess Yongning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was extremely intelligent since she was a child, but was feared by her father because of the power of her mother's family. She lived in seclusion in the "Jinyu Pavilion" next to the cold palace all year round. In the third year of Yongning, the cavalry of Shuofang Kingdom in the north broke through the royal capital. His father burned himself on fire, his mother was humiliated and killed, and his brothers were beheaded by Danbi.
Under the knife attack, Zhao Ning was protected by her mother's confidant, Aunt Su, and she put on the clothes of a palace maid and pushed her into the secret passage. Before leaving, the nanny gave her half a dragon and phoenix jade pendant: "Princess, stay alive, this is the only escape route left for you by your mother."
When escaping from the palace, Zhao Ning witnessed Shuofang Regent Xiao Lin (22 years old) coming on a black horse riding a bloody horse on Zhuque Street. His silver armor was stained with blood, and the tip of his sword was holding the head of Prince Zhou. However, when he saw her cowering in the crowd, he suddenly stopped his horse.
At that glance, Xiao Lin didn't recognize her as a princess, but just regarded her as an ordinary palace maid. He threw down a bag of broken silver and said, "Go north. Whether you survive or not depends on your fate."
Zhao Ning clutched the silver bag, her nails digging into her flesh. She remembered this face - Xiao Lin, the posthumous son of the late Emperor Shuofang. He entered the military camp at the age of fifteen, was appointed regent at the age of eighteen, and destroyed the Zhou Dynasty at the age of twenty. He was the swordsman of this massacre.
