She was originally the most inconspicuous palace maid in the clothing bureau, but because of a face that was very similar to the princess, the queen mother threatened her younger brother's life and forced her into a substitute marriage.
It was snowing heavily on the day she left the customs, and the person escorting her was Gu Linyuan, the youngest general protecting the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Rumor has it that he is cold-faced, iron-blooded, and decisive in killing. He is a battlefield Shura who is feared by the Beirong people.
The wind and snow outside the Great Wall were filled with assassinations, tests, and identities that were about to be revealed. She thought she was going to die alone, but she didn't know that the taciturn general had already seen through everything.
"Your Highness is afraid," he said. "I don't know what your Highness is afraid of. I don't need to know."
It was not until the grand banquet at the Beirong Royal Court that an old friend identified him, and the identity of the substitute was revealed in public. Everyone in the house was shocked, surrounded by swords and axes. He drew his sword and stood in front of her, and said only one sentence to the king of Beirong: "The general is escorting the princess of Zhou Dynasty. The general does not know who the princess is, and he does not need to know."
At that moment, she realized that some people's protection was never out of duty.
But her true identity is far more than just a stand-in - she is the orphan of a loyal martyr who died unjustly and tragically ten years ago, and is the only insider who has irrefutable evidence of the Queen Mother's collaboration with the enemy and her country. When the truth surfaced, she was no longer someone's shadow, but the first ray of light that tore through the darkness.
After the sandstorm passed, the newly planted jujube trees in Liangzhou City sprouted.
She was sitting in the city that her father had sworn to protect to the death. Next to her were dates that had waited for three seasons to turn red, and a man who walked out of the wind and snow outside the Great Wall and never left again.
