(Opening at the end of the month)
A weak country has no diplomacy. Meng Zhi was a sacrificial pawn of the Zhou Kingdom, sent to marry into another kingdom when she was barely a teenager.
The Crown Prince of the Great Liao Kingdom was twenty-six, young and ambitious. But he had long been in love with his secondary consort, his cousin. What's more, he already had a ten-year-old son.
The Crown Prince rarely visited her. She missed home and fell ill from sorrow. After the Zhou Kingdom was annexed, she soon wasted away and died.
The servants in the residence looked down on her, but her stepson had sincerely called her Mother a few times.
After living her life over again, she sees everything clearly. She must build up her own power and, first of all, survive. Only then will she have the right to secure a future for the people of her country.
A little scene:
When her stepson falls ill, she stays by his side to care for him.
When the weather turns cold, she goes to the school to bring him warm clothes.
One day:
The Crown Prince arrives at Meng Zhi's residence, drunk.
As they struggle with each other, an attendant knocks at the door. "Your Highness, His Majesty is investigating the matter of the imperial tomb's construction..."
After the Crown Prince leaves, her stepson pushes open the door. "Mother, were you frightened? May I stay by your side tonight... and look after you?"
After that night, there was no turning back...
