Everyone in the capital laughed at Shen Jun, calling him the most spineless "lapdog" by Princess Su Wan's side.
But no one knew that Su Wan had saved his life.
From then on, he willingly became the blade in her hand and the shield before her, protecting her from plots, assassinations, and the power struggles at court.
Su Wan seemed frail and out of favor, but in truth, she concealed her abilities and plotted carefully, advancing one step at a time.
One risked his life to protect her, while the other used her wits to break through every trap. Together, they outmaneuvered the Empress Dowager, eliminated powerful ministers, quelled the floods, and settled the succession.
At last, they brought peace and integrity to the court and stayed by each other's side through the years.
