Set against the backdrop of the Northern Song dynasty, this is an ancient-style romance of political intrigue. Twin brothers' struggle over the legitimate claim to the throne forms the core of the story, while the legendary journey of a princess of Dali, the legitimate heir to the throne, who disguises herself as a man and travels as an envoy to the Song court, serves as its main narrative thread. The story combines court intrigue, rebel forces from the martial world, devotion to country and family, and tangled love and hatred. Centered on the conflicts between "legitimacy and usurpation," "light and darkness," and "tenderness and brutality," it unfolds a legendary tale of revenge, redemption, understanding, and protection amid the turmoil of the Central Plains. With delicate prose, the novel brings a vivid cast of characters to life, while a steadily escalating plot heightens the conflicts. It offers both a treacherous struggle for power at court and a moving romance in which two people choose one another, all within a sweeping vision of caring for the people!
