One-sentence summary: Being pushed into a dead end by his identity as a betrothed, he awakened in a desperate situation on the grassland, and regained the throne through border trade and people's hearts.
She is a princess who has been arranged by everyone to grow up, and she is also an empress who tears up all arrangements with her own hands.
In the Zhou Dynasty, Lin Lanxue was the emperor's most beloved daughter, but she was also the most innocent canary. Subordinate Rong Qing, Grand Tutor Yanchen, and servant Li Yuelou - the three men worked together to weave a gentle web for her, hoping to protect her forever. Until that secret edict appeared: the emperor wanted to be passed on to the princess, not the prince. One stone stirs up a thousand waves. The Queen - her most admired mother - personally pushed her towards the marriage for the benefit of her mother's family, the Wang family. The marriage is fake, but the fact of smuggling across the border in the name of the princess's wedding is the real thing.
Being regarded as goods with a clear price tag by those closest to them, Lin Lanxue saw the true face of this palace clearly for the first time on the way to the north. She didn't run away. She regarded this huge conspiracy as an opportunity for her own rebirth. On the Dilie grassland, she learned to ride horses, archery, and calculate mutual market accounts; with the secret help of Rong Qing, Yan Shen, Li Yuelou, and others, she traced back step by step and dug out the Wang family's huge empire of smuggling iron, war horses, and seeds for sixteen years. When she returned to the capital as Di Lie's negotiating envoy, she was no longer the little princess who allowed herself to be arranged.
There were always three people standing beside her. Tai Tu Yan Shen was willing to go through fire and water for her, Rong Qing, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was working in the dark to remove all obstacles for her, and Li Yuelou, the servant, was staying three steps away for ten years. They all said it was for her own good. But this time, Lin Lanxue would not let anyone make the decision for her. She wants to repay the kindness, she wants to take control of the country, and she also wants to understand her feelings.
Intention: As the clothes get wider, I will never regret it, and I will make people haggard because of Yi.
