Princess Nan Qiao

She thought that by volunteering to marry far from home for peace, she could bring calm and stability to the border. But on the journey, someone was always plotting to take her life.

He thought that by withdrawing from the succession struggle, he could put an end to senseless bloodshed. But even after retreating to the prince’s residence, there were still people doing everything they could to stir up trouble.

She and he, a commandery princess of Great Zhou and a prince of Liao, had no choice but to join forces and fight, to protect the people behind them and defend the convictions they held dear.

They thought it was only a temporary arrangement, never imagining that once they took each other’s hand, they would hold on for a lifetime.
