[Scheming, calculating legitimate princess vs. sharp-tongued but soft-hearted general]
Her father is the Son of Heaven of Zhou.
Her mother is the Queen of Zhou.
Bo Ji, born into the legitimate royal line and peerlessly noble, never dreamed that one day she would be treated as a gift and married off to a foreign barbarian born a slave.
Bo Ji is disgusted.
Her maid is also deeply anxious: "My lady, I heard that he commands a vast army. He led the cavalry in a charge and killed our king. He murdered your father. That is a blood feud that can never be forgiven!"
Bo Ji's expression turns thoughtful. "Oh? Is that so?"
And so, on her wedding night,
Bo Ji gazes at her future husband with tender affection, her voice shy and soft: "My lord..."
He brushes her hand away and retreats as if he has seen a ghost. "Shut up. I'm not falling for that!"
Bo Ji lowers her head in astonishment, barely managing to keep the fragile expression on her face...
[What should I do if my husband doesn't like me?]
Her tried-and-true approach of acting vulnerable has suddenly stopped working?
But she fails to notice that someone's ears are so red they look ready to drip blood!
