In the twenty-seventh year of Yong'an, Dayin sent Shen Zhaoyue, the third daughter of the Shen family, to Beishuo in the name of marriage.
Everyone said that this was "abandoning a son to seek peace," but only Shen Zhaoyue knew that her dowry contained a "silver flow" puzzle that could shake the foundation of both countries.
Xiao Yan, the prince of Beishuo, was a military judge. He was cold-faced and taciturn, and established his power with an iron fist.
When he first met her, he didn't ask about friendship, but only asked for evidence: "There are missing pages in the account book, how do you explain it?"
Shen Zhaoyue dealt with it calmly, and every word was a bargaining chip.
She wants to save her kidnapped sister, overturn her father's old case, and make those who used her as a pawn pay the price.
And he wanted to stabilize Beishuo, find out the undercurrent behind the border trade, and secure his reserve position surrounded by nobles.
The two went from testing each other to leveraging each other's strength, from playing games in the court to breaking the situation side by side.
He gave her shelter and she gave him the truth.
She used the account books as a blade, and he used military power as a shield.
When the end point of the silver flow pointed to the top leaders of the two countries, and when the truth of the old case surfaced, they discovered——
This marriage is never a gift to a woman, but a storm.
Strengths join forces to plot love.
Intention: In the fate of being treated as a chess piece, she chooses to be the one who plays chess; in turbulent times, they choose to use trust and responsibility to fight against the cold rules of the world.
