That year, Pei's cavalry broke through the city gate of Huang Linguo. The fifth princess Helian Ningshu knelt in a pool of blood, watching the mother emperor beheaded on the dragon chair and the five imperial sisters hanged in front of the palace gate. The enemy spared her life - not with mercy, but with humiliation.
She put on her wedding dress, married into the Pei Mansion as a "trophy", and married the man who personally led the army to destroy the country - Pei Jinxiao.
Everyone was waiting for her to give in. Everyone is waiting for her to forget.
But she remembers - remembers every enemy's name, every face stained with the blood of her tribe.
Twelve enemies, twelve reckonings.
It took her ten years to go from a bride to a general's wife, from a general's wife to the commander-in-chief of the Restoration Army, and from the commander-in-chief of the Restoration Army to the common ruler of the world.
And along the way, the person she was supposed to hate the most became the person she understood best.
From being disgusted with each other to being side by side in the world, from scheming against each other to trusting each other in life and death.
But Helian Ningshu will never forget one thing - she is a princess, an avenger, and a future emperor.
Love can be a part of her life, but it will never be the whole of her life.
