Lin Chaoyan was raised at Yunji Temple for eighteen years. Then, overnight, the Prince of Jin’s residence took her back and sent her to marry Tubo in place of her twin sister. In everyone’s eyes, she became the pitiful Princess Yongning.
Mo Xingzhi, the eldest legitimate son of the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, was ordered to escort Princess Yongning to the frontier.
The road stretched on through endless yellow sand, the official highway seemingly without end.
He secretly fell for the princess, but neither dared speak of it because of their respective identities.
Eventually, Lin Chaoyan’s carefully laid plan to fake her death and escape succeeded.
After faking her death, Lin Chaoyan disguised herself as a man and appeared in a frontier city as a military physician, searching for the grandfather who had raised her.
When they met again, Mo Xingzhi kept meeting her gaze, as if he wanted to remember someone through her eyes.
At last, his pent-up feelings spilled out. Mo Xingzhi wrapped his arms around her, still dressed as a man, and kissed her passionately.
“I have feelings for you,” he said.
Lin Chaoyan, the one he had just kissed, raised her foot and kicked him.
“I’m a man! I’m a man!” she roared.
He replied, “Ha! If it weren’t for that chest binder, I might actually have believed your nonsense!”
Lin Chaoyan: …Oh no, my secret identity is exposed!
Within half a day, rumors spread throughout the military camp:
General Mo, the aloof, restrained commander who guarded the frontier, had a penchant for men.
Everyone laughed at him for losing his mind, unaware that day and night he whispered in her ear, his every word frank and fervent, shattering the restraint he had held onto for half his life.
“Lin Chaoyan, you hid the truth from me so cruelly.”
“Everyone else thinks I like men. Only I know how lucky I am that you’re still alive.”
“From the moment I first saw that vermilion phoenix carriage, I was attracted to you at first sight, and I’ve never regretted it.”
People always sighed that the imperial family was the coldest place of all, yet somehow it produced Princess Yongning, who valued love and loyalty above all else.
But they didn’t know that this Yongning wasn’t the real Yongning.
Theme: In a chaotic age, caught in the heart of a maelstrom, use power to find a way forward and survival to stay alive.

It's so well written. It's really miserable for a girl to be abandoned since she was a child and she still has to marry her sister. When I saw the table being overturned, I was really happy [Three Flower Cat Head] Come on, please update more soon!
