One day, the city fell, and her country was destroyed.
The former Princess Yuanzhao died.
Cheng Xiyan traveled as a doctor for years. Her superb medical skills and intelligence won Peng Shiyuan's admiration.
The princes, too, began to regard her differently.
But no one knew the secret she kept in her heart.
When that secret was revealed, the world was turned upside down.
The Hui Kingdom teetered on the brink of destruction, and the princes begged her to show mercy.
Even Peng Shiyuan, who had once stood high above them all, was willing to give up his life.
"If I die, can you let go of your hatred and spare them?"
"Yes."
The spearpoint pierced his chest. Before he died, Peng Shiyuan saw the scornful look on Cheng Xiyan's face.
"I lied. Even if you die, I'll still kill them."
