Xie Yunyi was sent from the Great Li Dynasty to marry a Xiongnu prince. Her husband died on their wedding night, and the Xiongnu branded her a bringer of bad luck and gave her a deadly cup of poison.
More absurd still, she had sacrificed herself by taking the place of the emperor's beloved daughter in the marriage, yet earned not a scrap of mercy from him. Her entire family was beheaded on trumped-up charges.
Only after her death did Xie Yunyi understand: her life and her family's lives had all been nothing but pieces in these people's hands.
*
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the night she had been poisoned. She swore to make them pay in blood.
She knew that five years from then, the Great Li Dynasty would be destroyed by one man: General Li He of the Weiyuan Army.
So she went to great lengths to seduce him. The dignified Xiongnu princess consort became Li He's mistress.
*
There was so much Xie Yunyi didn't know.
For example, Li He was the one who had made it possible for her to return to Chang'an.
And the cruel, violent Xiongnu king who had been her husband was the very man Li He had infiltrated the Xiongnu to kill.
What's more, every step of her supposed seduction was part of the trap Li He had laid for her.
As for why, take a guess.
