[Clear-minded and clever reborn princess x dark, obsessive, and sinister prince]
[Historical romance + court intrigue + two strong leads + marriage before love + possessive male lead + brothers vying for the same woman + nation and family]
In her previous life, Liang princess Shen Qingjue trusted the wrong man. The person she loved with all her heart turned out to be a traitor who sold out his country for glory. On the day her nation fell, she was forced to take her own life with a sword.
Fortunately, she was reborn at the time when Wei and Liang were discussing a marriage alliance. To avert the crisis that threatened her country, she took the initiative to marry Jiang Moyuan, Prince Chen of Wei. She never expected him to be a ruthless, scheming madman with grand ambitions.
He secretly dealt with the man she once loved over a rumor, then turned around and handed her a map of the military defenses.

Jiang Moyuan had a pair of captivating, romantic phoenix eyes, but his nature was aloof and sinister.
He had once devoted himself entirely to building an empire and never got involved with women.
Until one day, he pinned his princess consort to the bed. “Perhaps I can make you feel safe and satisfied.”
From then on, he loved her to the bone, humbling himself for her sake.

Jiang Moyuan brought down the empress and the crown prince, but on the road to claiming the throne, he faced a formidable rival: his fourth brother, Jiang Xuanyi. He wanted not only the imperial power, but also Jiang Moyuan’s A Jue.
Both brothers saw the woman they loved as a radiant moon in the heavens, proud and untouchable, and as a winter plum braving frost and snow.
Jiang Xuanyi: Second Brother, you can have the throne. Give Qingjue to me?
Jiang Moyuan: No. A Jue is mine.
This struggle for power is rife with bloodshed, yet entangled with love and hatred.
