Xiao Lingfan was the princess of the Mu Kingdom who postponed the war to seek peace and ceded territory to pay for the marriage. It was the humiliation of the Northern Ming Kingdom to the royal family of the Mu Kingdom.
She was married to Bei Mingjin, the fifth prince of an enemy country. The prince was extremely unpopular because of his lowly mother's status and grew up in a cold palace.
The two appear to be husband and wife, but are actually allies. He promised her that if she could help him ascend the throne, he would allow her to go free.
Xiao Lingfan believed his words and stayed low-key with him for three years. They spent several life-and-death situations hand in hand. In the end, she watched him climb to the top of power step by step.
Just when she thought she could no longer be bound by the palace and could find her own world, Bei Mingjin ordered her to be made a noble concubine and placed her under house arrest.
Xiao Lingfan hated him for being unfaithful and causing trouble in his harem, and only hoped that he would keep his promise and let her out of the palace. However, he tolerated her again and again and broke the rules for her again and again.
She remained unmoved and intensified, and Bei Mingjin finally couldn't stand the pressure from the ministers and punished her, but in the end he just banned her from the palace.
She turned off the light at night, and the emperor, who was busy with everything, broke into her bedroom, pushed her against the bed, and asked her: "How long are you going to make trouble?"
Xiao Lingfan accepted everything indifferently, his voice numb: "As long as the emperor is willing to let me go, I will stop making trouble."
After hearing it, Bei Mingjin looked at her with scarlet eyes. He clamped her jaw and said harshly: "After all these years, are you still the same person in your heart? It's absolutely impossible to leave me and find him!"
Bei Mingjin hated her for being ignorant of promotion, demoted her to the royal temple, and ordered her to always accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns to pray for the people of Beiming Kingdom.
In the third year of Xiao Lingfan's fasting and chanting Buddha's name, she heard the news that the Beiming Iron Cavalry had entered the territory of the Mu Kingdom, the emperor's head was hanging on the city gate, and the whereabouts of his commander was unknown.
She was so distraught that she escaped from Beiming Kingdom by feigning death.
In the fifth year after the fall of the country, the small country she lived in surrendered to the Beiming Kingdom. The Beiming Kingdom sent people to take charge of the small country. When the leading general saw her, he exclaimed: "Your Highness!"
She was brought to Bei Mingjin. After years of fighting, he had gone through a lot of vicissitudes. When he saw her, he held her in his arms with a cold face, but his tone was extremely gentle.
"Where have you been for all these years?"
Intention: My heart is my Lord
