The snow in Beilin has not fallen on Yan Zhao's shoulders for ten years. As a hostage in Nanchu, when she returned, her homeland had already looked completely different. The four princesses each had their own secrets, the nine princes were at war with each other, and even the plum fragrance under the palace wall was filled with the chill of power.
The first time she met in the Imperial Garden, she bumped into Shen Che, the proton of Xirong. They are both strangers in a foreign land, one harbors the tender memories of Nan Chu for ten years, and the other harbors the hatred of the motherland that has not yet cooled down. He saw through the nagging and sharpness behind her cold mask, and she understood the ambition and loneliness in his meek posture.
The undercurrent in the court was turbulent, and the father's eyes gradually fell on the "lost and found" second daughter, and the fight between the princes and princesses became more and more naked. The eldest sister was reckless and was plotted, Princess Lan was furious, the fourth sister was good at calculations, and Yan Zhao, in the center of the whirlpool, was dealing with the pull of family ties and power, while exchanging thoughts with Shen Che in the corner tower late at night that only the other could understand.
When the war drums of Xirong were beating and the princes of Beilin rushed to the front line, Yan Zhao chose a different path. She helped him return to the country, helped him seize power, and watched her brothers and sisters fight beyond recognition in the game of imperial power.
It turns out that the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace has never been the destination. When Shen Che returned with the wind from Xirong, Yan Zhao finally understood that what she wanted was never the power to overlook all living beings, but the freedom to walk side by side with him towards an uncontested world in the wind and snow.
Purpose: What she wanted was never the power to overlook all sentient beings, but the freedom to walk side by side with him towards an uncontested world in the wind and snow.
