As an orphan, Rong Xi was suddenly told that she was the exiled princess of King Tongling. She was welcomed back to the palace by Ji Ning, the king's confidant.
Life in the palace is calm on the surface, but in reality there are turbulences. Her father loves her extremely but keeps secret of her mother's life experience, and the empress is dignified and virtuous but presses her hard every step of the way. There are constant turmoil outside the palace, monsters are rampant, and all the spearheads seem to be pointing at Rong Xi in the end.
Everyone said she was a monster. Otherwise, why would the normally prosperous Tongling Kingdom keep experiencing changes after she returned to the palace? Amid everyone's doubts, Ji, who had always been cold and aloof and ignored worldly disputes, stood up to everyone's objections and said firmly: "I believe in the princess, and I am willing to swear on my own body to prove the princess's innocence!"
Ji Ning believed in her and protected her. Rong Xi thought this was love. Otherwise, why would Master Ji be willing to sacrifice his own happiness for her? It wasn't until the wedding night that she understood that besides love, there is another word in the world called profit.

As the most qualified disciple of Fanxian Mountain for hundreds of years, Ji Ning was deeply valued by his master. He practiced hard in the Demon Suppression Tower for many years. The only time he acted willfully was to let go of a docile little fox demon, but he did not want to be killed by his master, and then threw the bloody corpse in front of him. One wrong thought will breed inner demons, and your cultivation will no longer be able to improve.
So Ji Ning returned the sword and went down the mountain, firstly to appreciate the prosperity of the world and get rid of her obsession. The second is for the chalcedony that is rumored to have supreme power. After several years in the human world, he finally found the person with the chalcedony, who was the exiled daughter of King Tongling. He was ordered to welcome her back to the palace, but was ambushed and assassinated many times along the way.
The little girl saw bloody killing for the first time. Ji Ning looked at her panic but pretended to be calm, and comforted her: "Princess, don't panic, I will keep the princess safe." This is what he should do as a courtier now, but in the rest of his life, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, as long as he has a breath left, no matter how injured he is, he will stand up and protect her behind him.
