Lu Minghua is famous throughout Northern Qi, not only as the apple of Prince Jing'an's eye, but also for her glorious military achievements. The emperor personally bestowed on her the title of the kingdom's foremost military strategist.
The young noblewomen of the capital envy her and resent her, while secretly taking pleasure in making fun of her.
That's because it's been two years since Lu Minghua came of age, and still no one has come to ask for her hand in marriage.
Rumor has it that she has calculated too many secrets of heaven, and that fortune and misfortune balance each other out, leaving her destined for a difficult marriage.
But no one knows that Lu Minghua keeps a beloved man in her heart.
Reborn, she plots at every turn, all to make him fall for her.
In her previous life, the entire Lu family was executed. As she was led to the execution ground, Lu Minghua still clutched a silver bell in her hand, refusing to let go even in death.
It was the only thing the man had ever given her.
Reborn and back in the capital, Lu Minghua finally succeeds in cornering the man at every turn. She gazes at the refined, otherworldly Daoist before her and smiles.
"Reverend, surely your cultivation gets dull. Why not consider stepping into the mortal world for my sake? What do you say?"
"If you don't want to marry me, I can marry you instead."
Later, the powerful regent pins Lu Minghua against the palace wall, one hand hooking the silver bell at her waist as he teases, "I hear someone once wanted me to give up the Dao and marry into her family?"
Lu Minghua's heart trembles, but she fearlessly asks in return, "Then... shall I petition the emperor?"
