Murong Ning married Yuan Zheng, the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, becoming the Crown Princess no girl wanted to be.
Everyone knew Yuan Zheng had no real power and had always kept his head down to stay safe. She willingly stood by his side and supported him.
Later, Rouran defeated the Wei Dynasty, and Yuan Zheng married the Rouran princess, Yujulü. The princess couldn't tolerate another woman and threatened Yuan Zheng into killing Murong Ning.
To protect the Wei Dynasty, Murong Ning was deposed and became a nun after having her head shaved, yet she still could not escape death.
In the coldest winter, the man she loved gave her poisoned wine. Only before she died did she learn that Yuan Zheng had never loved her. She had only been imagining things all along.
Reborn at the age of fifteen, Murong Ning vowed never again to let her father control her. She broke off her engagement and happily became a flirt, erasing every bit of her good reputation from her previous life. What Crown Princess? What reputation for being virtuous and gentle? She didn't care about any of it!
*
Yuan Zheng was reborn. He devoted himself to seizing power and winning Murong Ning back. He thought she still loved him as she had before and would do whatever he said. But this time, he didn't get his wish. She showed her feminine charms in front of his enemy, Yuwen Xun.
Later, he went mad. He resorted to a ploy to make her pity him and even became her servant, begging her to come back. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as she became someone else's wife.
*
In his previous life, Yuwen Xun had loved Murong Ning, but he was betrothed to her younger sister, Murong Yan. On his wedding day, an imperial decree sent him to attack the Zhao Dynasty.
After Murong Ning died, he raised an army, annexed the Zhao Dynasty, defeated Rouran, killed the princess, and overthrew the entire Wei Dynasty. He personally built a beautiful tomb for her.
In his eyes, Murong Ning was the most beautiful woman in the world. Even in death, she deserved to look beautiful.
In this life, he will offer Murong Ning an empire.
