Morning Clouds and Dusk Rain Send Lovesickness

In the last years of the Great Shang Dynasty, things were in turmoil. There are three princes in the palace - the prince Ye Ze who is rich in literature but not in martial arts, the third prince Ye Ding who is thoughtful and beloved, and the Qi King Ye Chao who is brave and good at fighting and has great military achievements. They are fighting openly and secretly to seize the throne, the court is divided, and the factions are fighting. There are powerful enemies outside, and the border is uneasy. The country is in turmoil, and people's livelihood is in decline. Ye Chao, King of Qi, was on the battlefield at the age of fifteen. He was the mainstay of the country and the most powerful contender for the throne. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he was rescued by a mysterious woman. Her calm eyes unexpectedly awakened his dusty memory - when he was eight years old, he was pulled out of the abyss by such hands at the same critical moment of life and death. She is Xiao Muyu, the eldest daughter of the then-captain Xiao Chuhe who was forgotten in the countryside. Xiao Muyu, on the surface, looks like a weak and helpless "country girl", but in fact, she is a martial arts master with unparalleled martial arts. He lost his mother when he was young and was banished to the forest garden by his stepmother. Fortunately, he was accepted as a disciple by the best swordsman in the world and developed his skills. To protect herself, she hides herself like a pearl covered in dust. The thread of fate tightly entangled the two people again. The Empress Dowager issued a decree to marry Xiao Muyu to King Ye Chao of Qi. This sudden marriage was a shackles to Xiao Muyu, who cared about freedom and hated restraint; to Ye Chao, who was obsessed with seizing his legitimate son and had no time to love his children, it was just a stopgap measure. The two reached a cold contract: she would use her intelligence and hidden force to help him seize the throne and quell foreign troubles; after that, he allowed her to "fake death and escape" and regain her freedom. However, in the turbulent whirlpool of power and the battlefield of swords and swords, the contract gradually deteriorated.
