Yue Lizhao, a hostess from southern Xinjiang, has been in Daqi for three years and has only ninety days left before she can return home. Just at this moment, a military letter from an unknown source flew towards her annex. Once the letter falls into the inner court, she will be charged with collaborating with the enemy, and all three years of forbearance will be invalidated.
In order to intercept the military letter, she visited the Huainan Palace at night, stepped on the shoulder of the dandy prince Qi Jinye, held the silver hairpin to her throat, and after seizing the letter, she also stole the eagle-patterned jade button around his waist.
The next day, the queen searched the courtyard and the jade button was found in public. Everyone was waiting for Qi Jinye to clear up the relationship, but he stood in front of her and casually acknowledged:
"I gave you the jade, and I also waited for you."
The three divisions held a trial, and the emperor wanted to send her back to the inner court. However, Qi Jinye kowtowed in public and asked for marriage, leading the entire Huainan Palace to her death.
The world only thinks that this is a whim of a playboy, but Yue Lizhao knows that this marriage is not a destination, but a 90-day life for her. The marriage contract stated that if the pledge period expires and she doesn't want to, the marriage will end.
But she didn't know that Qi Jinye had been reborn.
In his previous life, he was three days late and only found her blood stains and broken hairpin at Nangui Inn. In this life, he changed the situation step by step, just to let her finish the return journey alive.
Just returning to southern Xinjiang does not mean going home. Her father had personally signed the detainment letter, but the royal court refused to recognize her identity. The person who really wanted to kill her was waiting in her homeland.
The first time he asked for marriage, he snatched her from the emperor for ninety days.
When she asked for marriage for the second time, she was no longer someone's hostage.
Purpose: True love is not about choosing for the other person, nor is it asking the other person to betray the country, responsibility and self for love; it is about still respecting her subjectivity and being willing to bear the price of her choice when it is impossible to choose for her.
