More than sixty years after the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, the Qingzhou Rebellion occurred during the reign of Emperor Ren'an. The desert cavalry traveled eastward, and wherever they went, the people were in dire straits. Qingzhou guard Shangguan Jinghe defended Yuncheng until he died in the battle. All the men of the Shangguan clan died in the battle, and the women, children, old and young were all dressed in white, and the whole country mourned. Emperor Ren'an was worried about state affairs, and after hearing the news of the death of his young friend, he became ill from overwork and could not afford to fall ill. However, when the country was in danger, the six tribes in the desert continued to fight and the alliance collapsed. Prime Minister Du Ming secretly contacted Yuzhou garrison Fang Rusong to take advantage of this moment to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop and boost their morale. After that, the enemy army retreated steadily and sent envoys to negotiate for peace. Due to the sudden war in Daqian, the people and financial resources were insufficient. Emperor Ren'an promised to negotiate on the Huainan River in Yuncheng. Ji Wuchen, the leader of the six tribes in the desert, expressed his willingness to surrender to Daqian. He only asked Daqian to marry the princess and express his goodwill. However, Emperor Ren'an had only one son, so he could only choose one of the noble ladies from the capital to come and get married. For a while, the noble ladies from the capital's aristocratic families were in panic. Shangguan Jinghe's eldest daughter, Shangguan Ning, made a petition for peace with Da Mo. She only asked Your Majesty to love her family members and keep her healthy throughout her life. Later, Emperor Ren'an issued an edict and made Shangguan Ningxuan the Princess of Hengyang. She was sent to Da Mo to marry Ji Wuchen. Shangguan Jinghe was buried with a national ceremony and a gold medal for immunity from death was given to Shangguan's family to show the emperor's favor. It was known as the Alliance of Yuncheng in history. Emperor Ren'an died of illness, and his son Ye Junyu came to the throne at a young age, with the reign name Jing'an. The old lady of Shangguan sent Shangguan Ziling, the youngest daughter of Shangguan, to the capital to study at Chongde Academy. Nine years later, their story unfolds.
