In the autumn of the 22nd year of Yong'an, the blood of Yanmen Pass dyed the wind and sand red. General Zhao Ce died in the battle to protect his country. His wife Liu died in love, and his ten-year-old daughter Zhao Qingyue became an orphan overnight. Fortunately, Zhao Ce wrote to the emperor before his death, entrusting his wife and daughter in the name of loyalty. The emperor, thinking of the Zhao family's achievements, brought Qingyue into the palace, canonized her as "Princess Mingyue", and fostered her in the East Palace.
Qingyue, who first entered the East Palace, carried the Tiger Talisman Jade Pendant left by her parents, with the timidity and tenacity of an orphan at the border, but unexpectedly gained overflowing warmth - the eldest princess Xiao Jinrou was gentle and considerate, sewing new clothes for her, combing her hair, and protecting her under their wings; the six royal brothers did their best: the calm eldest brother Xiao Jingyi shielded her. There are rumors in the court that Xiao Jingchen, the elegant second emperor brother, carefully taught her reading and calligraphy, Xiao Jingyu, the third emperor brother who protects her, frightens her troublemakers, Xiao Jingrui, the fourth emperor brother who knows medicine, regulates her body and makes incense, Xiao Jinglin, the fifth emperor brother who is good at painting, describes the scenery of her hometown for her, and Xiao Jingxuan, the lively sixth emperor brother, plays with her to disperse her loneliness.
Among this warmth, what Qingyue relied on the most was the protection of Prince Xiao Jinyuan. From bending down at the city gate to carry her into the palace, to preparing sweet lotus seed and lily soup and sweet-scented osmanthus cake for her to relieve her homesickness; from setting up an ancestral hall for her in the East Palace to enshrine her parents' memorial tablets, to silently handling the rumors against her, Xiao Jamyuan's care was meticulous. His gentleness was like a spring stream, gradually melting the ice in Qingyue's heart, and also quietly changing his feelings - from a brother's love for his sister to an obsession to protect her throughout his life.
