Chu Linghui, Princess Zhaohua, commands the armies of the northwest. Beneath her gentle exterior lies a plan to save the realm.
Jing Chengyuan, crown prince of Dayin, is mocked by the world as weak and indecisive. But no one knows that his mild manner is a disguise, and that he schemes to claim a kingdom stretching thousands of miles.
She wins over the great clans; he lays covert plans in the Eastern Palace. United in purpose, they plot to take the realm.
They cross the blood-soaked streets of the capital and put an end to the rival princes' feuds.
When peace finally returns to the land and he rules the nine provinces, he takes her hand. The realm is a golden age they won together.
