[The concubine princess who was treated like a coward & the general's son who entered the palace as a hostage]
Qi Zhaoyu, Princess Xining of Dajing, was born in a strange situation. There was a drought in the country. She was regarded as the "disaster princess" and was sentenced to death by the emperor. In the end, he was sequestered in a deep palace. He was disliked by his father, displeased by his mother and concubines, and despised by the court officials. Even the servants in the palace stepped on him one after another and left him to fend for himself in the deep palace of Dajing.
When I was fourteen years old, I was catching a kite on the tree next to the palace wall. I met a young man by chance. Under the broken sun, the young man's eyebrows were even deeper. He was wearing black clothes and without a hairband, standing quietly in front of the girl.
Xiao Mingyuan stood with his clothes hanging, ostensibly serving as the prince's companion.
Qi Zhaoyu looked at him silently and asked after a long while: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I have met Princess Xining."
Surprisingly, he actually knew her identity and didn't call her the Disaster Princess like everyone else.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiahe, the enemy country Dayan attacked. As a disaster star, it was natural that she could not escape the order of marriage, so the emperor ordered Princess Xining to go to the country for marriage.
Before the wedding, Xiao Mingyuan's eyes were moist, "Qi Zhaoyu, you consider the people of Dajing, the soldiers of Dajing, and everyone else, but have you considered my feelings?"
"I'm sorry, I am the princess of Dajing. I have no love for my family and my country. This is my fate." Qi Zhaoyu lowered her head and did not look at him. "I will serve my country in this life and I will let you down."
The princess has the mission of the princess, and the general has the responsibility of the general.
"He thought that as long as he defeated the enemy country, she wouldn't have to make a marriage."
"She thought that as long as he married into an enemy country, he wouldn't have to fight for it."
