In the 18th year of Yongjia, the Northern Kingdom's cavalry marched southward in large numbers, and the mountains and rivers were shattered.
Zhao Jianian, the princess of the southern country, lost her country and family overnight and was left without a branch to rely on. She was kidnapped and went north to become a maidservant of the enemy's King Xiao Chu.
In the three years of the Northern Kingdom, Zhao Jianian had no name, no relatives or friends, no old friends...
She forced herself to forget her feelings of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, family and country, and weakly attached herself to Xiao Yan's arms, clinging to his favor like a dodder flower; at the same time, she looked at every opportunity for revenge like a cheetah.

Xiao Yan was ruthless and lonely all his life, and valued etiquette above all else. He never understood the meaning of cherishing and loving. He only had a touch of tenderness for his maid Yinger: he was willing to tolerate her occasional coquettishness and willfulness, was willing to understand her restlessness and cowardice, and was even willing to accept her as a concubine regardless of etiquette...
But in the end, he only waited for the news that Ying'er fell into the water and her body was not found.
*
When they met again, he looked back at Zhao Jianian, raising his eyebrows and picking up his sword, the silver dragon unsheathed, and with a single stroke of the sword, he regained the sixteen states of Yanyun;
Only then did Xiao Yan suddenly realize that his lover was not a charming bird in a cage; she was the only opponent in the world who could rival him.
*
Xiao Yan has been studying the king's mental skills since he was a child, and has always believed that he should be like a flying dragon in the sky, conquering the world and regaining mountains and rivers;
Unexpectedly, one day, he would be willing to surrender to Zhao Jianian's command, return the people to live in peace, and restore peace to the world.
Intention: Love cannot be eaten as food, and you need to be tough on yourself to make iron.
