Could it be that as a woman, she can only be trapped in the backyard of the palace? How could she sit back and watch her country be dragged into the quagmire by mediocrity when she was good at both civil and military skills?
The ambitious Li Yuanqing knew very well that without power, there would be no choice. Her ambition is not to run the back house, but to govern the country and bring peace to the world.
However, the emperor's brother was afraid of her talent, so he married her into a family of military commanders and betrothed her to his second son Qin Rui, who had no real power. She originally thought that he was just a frail, shy, loyal and patriotic man, but unexpectedly discovered that "he" was actually a woman disguised as a man. She was also involuntarily forced to become the emperor's pawn to monitor her.
The fourth generation of the Qin family has been a general, but Qin Rui is trapped in the capital. He cannot show himself as a woman, but he cannot go to the battlefield like a man. He can only be a mediocre pawn for the emperor to contain the Qin family. She envied the princess's arrogance and freedom, but gradually discovered that she was also burdened with layers of shackles. Therefore, she wanted to protect the princess, and she also wanted to escape from this life of being a minister and a son but having no choice.
The political situation is turbulent, and their marriage was originally a calculation to check and balance power, but they grew love and sincerity in their daily relationship.
Li Yuanqing no longer lives just for power, and Qin Rui is no longer willing to follow the crowd. On this long road of self-pursuit, they still have each other.
Intention: Women can desire power, pursue status, and govern the country. But power must also be disenchanted. It is also valuable to have a soul that is willing to follow it for life. Whether you want love or power, only by being clear enough and accepting yourself can you choose the life you want.
