Was this inexplicable journey through time a strange twist of fate or her destiny?
Zhao Jin was a passionate modern woman. After her boyfriend, Qi You'an, betrayed her, she spent the night drinking at a bar. She never expected to run into danger there. Attacked and injured while saving her friend Bai Su, she unexpectedly transmigrated to the Northern Wei dynasty, more than a thousand years in the past! Her soul happened to inhabit Wang Si, the youngest daughter of the great general Wang Zhe, but she had no idea that this identity concealed a secret.
The year was Taiyuan 32, during the reign of Tuoba Gui, and the political situation was turbulent.
One day, while admiring the flowers in the courtyard, she was provoked by Jiang Huan, the daughter of a high-ranking official, over a tiny ancient jade phoenix ring. To her astonishment, the ring had somehow slipped onto her finger and could not be removed. Who was its owner, and what secrets did it conceal?
A marriage decree arrived, joining the Jiang family to the Grand Preceptor's household and separating two lovers. To secure her older sister's happiness, Wang Si set out for Yingcheng to find the Phoenix Zither and ask the emperor to annul the marriage between Xuanyuan Zhuo and Jiang Huan.
After leaving the residence, she faced danger at every turn. First, black-clad men seized her at an inn, but at the last moment Xuanyuan Jing came to her rescue.
Their paths crossed unexpectedly, and after a series of twists and turns, they followed Xuanyuan Jing to Phoenix Manor. There, they accidentally fell into a cave on Phoenix Mountain and discovered the secret of the Phoenix Zither. The mystery of Wang Si's birth also gradually came to light.
War was raging, and Xuanyuan Jing was ordered to defend the city. Wang Si followed him, and before they knew it, the two had fallen deeply in love.
Was Zhao Jin's unexpected journey into the past, and her inexplicable involvement in all of this, written in the stars? Or was it an entanglement from a past life? She tried to stay away, yet only sank deeper...
She remembered what Murong Yun had once said: “A woman with both beauty and brains makes a man stop at nothing and use every means to possess her or destroy her. And you are the woman I would do anything to have.”
Xuanyuan Jing: “Wang Si, I would give up everything for you. All I ask is that you stay by my side!”
Wang Si: “Xuanyuan Jing, just because you love me doesn't mean I have to stay by your side...”
A little scene:
Everyday life at the Grand Preceptor's residence: One day, Wang Si returned from the palace in a foul mood.
Wang Si: “Xuanyuan Jing, why are the women in the palace so annoying?”
Xuanyuan Jing frowned. “What happened? Who upset my wife?”
Wang Si pouted. “The palace concubines, of course! They were picking on your wife!”
Oh? Who could possibly bully his wife?
But with a cool expression, he said, “It's all right, my dear. Go ahead and give them a hard time. If the sky falls, your husband will hold it up for you!”
Wang Si smiled, satisfied. Then Xuanyuan Jing suddenly leaned closer. “Your husband has done well, so shouldn't you reward him with a baby?”
He finished with a wicked smile!
