The eighteenth year of the Min Yao era.
Mo Ziyan, the least favored youngest daughter of the General's Residence, is forced to marry the Eighth Prince, Gu Linyan.
Mo Ziyan is only brought back from a country estate after the imperial decree arrives, to serve as a sacrificial pawn.
But no one knows that she is a direct disciple of the Medicine King Valley, the savior of the ruler of the Xingyue Kingdom, and the owner of Yanran Pavilion, the jewelry house of the Feng Kingdom.
Rumor has it that the Eighth Prince is ill and has become the emperor's discarded son. This has left the prince spending every night in revelry and flying into senseless rages.
When a talkative dancer offended him, he had her tongue torn out on the spot.
After that, the Eighth Prince wanted nothing to do with women. Anyone who tried to send a woman to his residence found her head sent back the next day. Those who refused to believe it met the same fate, every time.
When the imperial decree arrives at the General's Residence, everyone worries for the young lady.
"Princess Consort, are these the ones? Guards, kill them!"
"Princess Consort, it's your call."
"Princess Consort, I've missed you so much!"
"Princess Consort, be careful!"
This Eighth Prince, notorious for his violent rages, treats his princess consort like the most precious jewel in his hands.
War is about to break out, and Gu Linyan is ordered to lead the army into battle.
"Gu Linyan, listen carefully. I want only you, and it can only ever be you."
"Mm, Yan'er. I'll bring the soldiers back safely."
