The princess of the subjugated country vs. The powerful officials of the new dynasty

On the day of the fall of the country, Song Yuan did something that made everyone think she was crazy.
She wore a princess's court dress and stopped the enemies of her country in front of the Ancestral Temple.
With a contract, from that day on, she became Xie Yun's nominal staff.
He taught her the art of power, and she investigated cases for him.
In the court, he threw the irrefutable evidence of corruption that she had found on the table, turned around and asked her in public: "Fools can't understand your highness's chess game, and smart people don't bother to see it. Which one do you think you are?"
On the night when the feudal lord raised an army, she placed in front of him a force analysis chart drawn by herself.
After he finished reading, he raised his eyes and looked at her: "It's so detailed. Could it be that she has colluded with him for a long time?"
She asked back: "Are you afraid?"
He put down his pen and walked up to her step by step: "I'm afraid you are so stupid that you think you can defeat me with just this trick."
Then the look someone looked at her made him change his expression in a rare way.
That night, he said through the courtyard wall: "Article 3 of the contract, you are not allowed to leave the sight of me. It takes effect today."
He admired her character, feared her ability, and gradually realized in the day-to-day confrontation that she was the only one in the world who could stand side by side with him.
But she never forgot that he was the one who ruined her family and country.
Later, she found out about the old debt that spanned the two dynasties and found out the source of all the grudges.
When the three years were up, she stood in front of the Ancestral Temple and tore up the contract. He took out the broken hairpin she had left three years ago from his arms and inserted it back into her hair.
"I want you to remember. I, Xie Yun, am the only one in this world who can tolerate your strength and is worthy of your empire."
