Everyone in Chang'an knows that Su Qingyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, is a sickly beauty who will not live to be twenty-five years old.
She was born with a weak body and was trapped in a boudoir all year round. She coughed three times every time and was full of poems and strategies, but she was destined to only be a beautiful flower from a famous family for people to admire.
Until an imperial edict granted her marriage to Xiao Jinye, the God of War in Hexi.
When he was young, he was appointed as a general and guarded Hexi. He had 100,000 cavalry and killed the enemy troops in fear. However, he did not understand the people of the court and had an upright temperament. He was regarded by the civil servants of the court as the best warrior.
Everyone is waiting to see this political marriage become a joke.
But no one knew that this sickly lady was the real chess player.
He fought bloody battles on the front line, while she lay ill in Chang'an. With only a battle report, a map, and a piece of news about trade routes, she could deduce the situation of a thousand-mile battle and formulate a strange plan to defeat the enemy on her sickbed.
He couldn't understand the court's calculations, so she helped him identify loyalties and traitors, uncover conspiracies, and protect the loyal members of the Xiao family; he used military power as a shield to protect her, shocking the whole court.
When the enemy's country invades the border, the prince seizes the legitimate son, the chief assistant sets up a trap, and the court and the border are about to storm at the same time, dragging her sick body with him across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, they play a big game of chess together that determines the fate of the world.
Later, Baiguan finally understood——
The truly terrifying thing was never the God of War who swept across the battlefield.
But the sick beauty who hugged the heater and coughed softly all day long.
This is the story of a sickly lady who controlled the world with her wisdom, and an iron-blooded general who guarded the mountains and rivers with his life. It is also a legend of two people achieving each other and working together to protect their country and the common people.
