Song Xuezhi, the second daughter of the magistrate of Tingzhou, was born an outcast.
The aunt is unkind, the eldest sister is domineering, and even the biological father only regards her as a bargaining chip in the marriage. When the decision to select a beautiful girl came to her head, she knew that if she accepted her fate, she would be giving her life to a cannibal palace.
So she made a desperate move and set her sights on Gu Yanzhi, the general who commanded a hundred thousand frontier troops and even the emperor had to give in to him.
A carefully designed "accidental encounter" in the snowy plum garden, she took care of every step, and he promised with a smile. She thought she had the strongest backer in the world, and thought he would come as promised on the day of the draft to lift her out of the abyss of fate.
But if this is really the case, then she is too naive... Who would resist the imperial power because of a woman he has known for less than a month?
He would climb up step by step. As for those who had deceived, betrayed, and hurt him... She would step on them one by one with her own hands.
