Autumn Cold

In the third year of Zhenhe's reign in the Daxing Dynasty, a heavy rain swept through the capital. Geng Qiu, the last princess of the Xia Kingdom, clutched the dagger engraved with the word "Autumn" on her waist, hiding her royal edge among the refugees. Her father's bloody suicide in front of the Daxing Emperor and the unanswered last words of "Ashamed of the Daxing" made her transform from a golden branch to a lone wolf seeking revenge. Even if the road ahead is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, she must uncover the truth about the demise of the Xia Kingdom. When she broke down the temple to avoid disaster, she ran into the freezing cold of the fifth prince of Daxing. He is the son of the princess of the Xia Kingdom.

The neatness with which the short blade was unsheathed, the patience with which she taught him to identify the royal codes in the secret room, and the decisiveness with which she made the decision before the clues about the military symbols gradually gave birth to a different kind of bond in this alliance of "strong women and weak men" - he respected her tenacity, and she cherished his sincerity. But the gap between the hatred of the country and the family is hard to fill, and the poisonous schemes of the three princes are intertwined. When the truth is revealed and the soldiers' symbols are stained with blood, they realize that the "revenge" she wants and the "stability" he seeks have already gone counter to each other, and BE's ending has changed from the beginning. It had been written from the beginning that what her knife would eventually face might be the royal family that he could not protect, or it might be an old debt that even he could not untie. All the warmth of being side by side would eventually be shattered into a dream that no one could remember in the strangulation of power. Intention: be
