Everyone knows Qin Wan was adopted.
No one knows she is a princess of the previous dynasty.
Qin Wan is carefree and loves to laugh and play around. She looks like a delicate young lady, yet her personality is bold and spirited as a man's.
When she was sixteen, the palace began choosing a crown princess. Qin Wan didn't want to be considered.
The man she loved had eagle-sharp eyes, brows like ink strokes, broad shoulders, and a strong, muscular build. He stood over eight feet tall, was highly skilled in martial arts, and had won countless battles. He was a good man.
She had no intention of restoring the previous dynasty. She only wanted to find a good man and spend the rest of her life with him. But a crowd of people stood behind her, forcing her to take on the responsibility of restoring the dynasty.

Crown Prince Xiao Xuanling was twenty years old. He had spent years fighting enemies and protecting the country beyond its borders, earning countless military honors. But all these years, his residence had been empty, with no woman to tend to its inner quarters.
As he returned in triumph, Emperor Qingyuan of Nanzhao issued an order to select eligible young women from across the country and choose a virtuous crown princess to look after the crown prince's residence.
A woman came to mind. She was always smiling, with her long hair tied high and a graceful figure. But he couldn't simply speak up. Choosing a crown princess was not the same as choosing the woman he loved.
Unexpectedly, she was among the eligible young women summoned to the palace for consideration.
Xiao Xuanling pretended not to know her and chose her as crown princess by chance.
Unexpectedly, the crown princess he had chosen himself turned out to be an assassin. He secretly watched and investigated her, foiling her assassination plans again and again.
He had thought he could make her give up on assassination in time. But then he discovered that the people behind her were not just one person. They were remnants of the previous dynasty, the very people whose country he had destroyed.

After two years of patiently biding her time, Qin Wan had always believed her plans were flawless. The night she prepared to lead tens of thousands of covert agents in a major assault on the palace, someone blocked her way.
Theme: Everything is ready; all that remains is the final push.
