Her Fate Was Written Wrong

[A saint’s selfishness + a scoundrel’s sincere love + new life after a long winter + a love that began beautifully but ended in sorrow]

[One heroine, multiple male love interests, and a rivalry for her affection: King Shen Zhao and her men]

More than anything, Shen Zhao never believed in fate.

She was the only legitimate daughter of Shen Du, the great general who guarded the north. Raised on the northern frontier, she learned to ride and fight, and saw snowstorms and flames of war at her father’s side.

When she was seventeen, Shen Du died in battle.

She returned to the capital with her father’s coffin, and with it, a general’s mansion that looked glorious on the outside but seethed with hidden currents beneath.

Everyone thought that with the Northern Guardian General dead, the Shen family had no one left to rely on.

A girl who had lost her father’s protection could never make much of a stir.

But they forgot one thing:

The daughter Shen Du raised was never a pawn for others to manipulate.

As she investigated the mystery her father left behind and protected his former followers, she ventured deeper into the capital, only to discover that her entire life had already been written in a book of fate.

Some said she was born to be the chosen one.

Others said she was merely a poor soul whose destiny had been stolen and replaced.

Some wanted to use her to change their fate.

Others wanted to save her from hers.

All she wanted to know was this: “If fate is real, why should anyone else get to write mine?”

In time, the powerful minister who once watched coldly from the sidelines bowed his head to her. The young general with an army at his command protected her for life. The crown prince, high above all others, made an exception for her. And the man who understood fate best willingly became the variable in hers.

So in this game, who is really moving the pieces?
