Usurping the Throne

On one side, ties to family and country. On the other, a harmonious marriage.

Which path will she choose?

Will she endure the agony of being torn from the blood kin she is bound to, or sever the threads of love that entwine her soul?

No one cares about her. If she shows weakness, she will surely die.

She has no choice but to brave the rushing current, pushing forward until she is battered and bloody.

Yet no matter which way she turns, she remains the sole royal bloodline, heir to three thousand splendors.

Still, Chang Ning has always wondered: if Chaoyang had not passed away, could she have lived forever in the south, peaceful and happy?
