At sixteen, Shen Yuan is suddenly given the title of princess, on the condition that she be sent far away to marry for an alliance.
Sent away like a gift, she arrives on the desolate grasslands beyond the northern frontier and meets her husband.
She sees him as savage, taciturn, and domineering.
He sees her as frail, gloomy, and helpless.
Everyone says that an alliance princess won't survive two months in the Khan's hands.
But time passes, and the tides of fate shift. One day, the political landscape of the two kingdoms changes dramatically.
He returns with her to her homeland and leads her to the palace hall. Sunlight spills across its entrance, revealing her tall, graceful figure and breathtaking beauty. Her bearing is regal, and she is nothing like the girl she once was.
Coming soon: Has the Crown Princess Been Deposed Today?
[Puppet crown princess and usurping minister, a gender-swapped Cao Mao x Sima Zhao, marriage before love. This time, no regicide in the streets. The loser rises to power.]
The powerful minister Yuan Su hears that the puppet emperor, who fled the capital many years ago, has returned, along with his only daughter, Princess Xuanping.
Perfect, Yuan Su thinks. The princess is frail and sickly, meek and mild, and only wants to survive in the cracks. She seems even easier to control than the old emperor. In his hands, she'll be obedient in no time.
Besides, he would never take her seriously.
That is, until the time he goes to great lengths to take her away from his older brother. Their originally intended relationship as uncle and sister-in-law becomes that of husband and wife. He admits he acted a little impulsively.
Later, he watches her go along with events, asking only for a chance to live. She doesn't love him, but he tells himself there's plenty of time. One day, she'll depend on him completely.
Until she puts him under her blade, turning the tables on him in an instant.
Only then does he realize what has happened. After wrestling with it for a while, he reluctantly becomes her devoted servant, consoling himself that husband and wife are one, so there's really no difference.
The old him: Weren't you supposed to be obedient?
The current him: It seems I'm the obedient one.
He thinks she is only compromising to find somewhere to take shelter in these troubled times. But she knows she wants far more than that.
If he truly wants to win her heart, he'll have to win the world for her first.
Theme: Fate is never unfair. You must fight for what you want with your own hands.
Dai Qin was hesitating and going around in circles, but what he actually wanted to say was: The child can't live without you (me too), and you can't leave.
After going through wind, frost, rain and snow, she finally changed from the young girl she was before to become strong and shining.
I always feel that there are too few plots between male and female protagonists
I've been chasing this for a long time, but I didn't expect it to end so soon. I really can't let go of Dai Qin and Yuanyuan, so I'll see you next time.
Dai Qin: You idiot, I almost had my wife locked up by you
Sumur: You two have two arms
What can I say? After all, the male protagonist is a foreigner and has an interest dispute with the Central Plains. His kindness to the female protagonist depends entirely on his conscience and feelings. If a war really breaks out, the safest thing for the heroine is to stay with her parents and brother. Shen Qi is not wrong.
