[Tianji’s cold-faced female general ✖️ Beiyun’s scheming regent]
They meet amid the threat of an enemy nation. She saves him first, then he saves her, and they come to know and love each other.
Situ Yunyi agrees to stay in Beiyun and enter a sham marriage with Han Lingjun for three months, repaying him for saving her life. In truth, she wants to investigate her father’s death and uncover the secrets surrounding the ministers who opposed him.
But little by little, he is drawn to her and falls deeper. Situ Yunyi seems calm on the surface, yet her heart is stirring without her even realizing it.
When the three months are up, she leaves him a brief letter and disappears. He searches for her for two years. At last, they meet again in Tianji. Situ Yunyi has just returned victorious from battle, and she looks at him with cold indifference.
Furious, Han Lingjun sneaks into her general’s residence in the middle of the night and shamelessly refuses to leave. In the end, neither fate nor time can be resisted. Situ Lengxuan finally understands his own heart, and the layers of coldness around him are slowly warmed away.
Together, they uncover the truth, quell the turmoil in the court, and protect the people of the realm.
He remembers what she once told him: “I can protect the world, and I can protect you, too.”
