[The duplicitous general × the cute and tough general's orphan girl]
In the 19th year of Taiping, war broke out in northern Xinjiang.
General Chang Yuanshan died in a bloody battle, leaving his only daughter Chang Jinning alone and helpless.
In recognition of her meritorious service, the emperor made a gracious decree to join her into the royal family at the age of fourteen. She was raised by the eldest princess and given the title "Princess Ning'an" - wishing her peace and peace from now on, and no worries in the years to come.
The dusk was dark, reflecting the corridor lights under the eaves. Zuo Hengzhou gently pressed Chang Jinning against the pillar, and brushed the broken hair beside her ears with his fingertips.
She saw his Adam's apple twitching slightly, and his words fell to the ground with a sound:
"Ning'an needs Zhaowu to protect it, and Zhaowu also needs Ning'an to take care of it."
Zuo Hengzhou took a step towards her. The candlelight lengthened his shadow and enveloped her.
"Ning'an and Zhaowu," his voice was low but his words were clear, "they were meant to be a match made in heaven."
