The heroine Jiang Shenyou, the youngest princess of the Jiang Kingdom, is kind-hearted and innocent by nature.
The male protagonist, Yue Sijue, was sent to the Jiang Kingdom as a hostage after Da Yue was defeated. His methods were ruthless and he would be punished by his enemies.
Yue Sijue was twelve years old when he first arrived in the Jiang Kingdom. He had beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and had the most adorable and well-behaved appearance.
Because he was not accustomed to the climate and missed his mother and concubine, he fell seriously ill and almost died of illness at the inn.
Yue Sijue's eldest companion asked for help everywhere, and finally found out that the little princess of Jiang Kingdom was very favored. Although she was young, she had quite a say.
So he tried his best to beg Jiang Shenyou.
Jiang Shenyou, just by hearing this name, you can tell how favored she is. As expected, as soon as she spoke, three imperial doctors came. It was not until Yue Sijue was cured of his illness that he returned to the imperial hospital to resume his life.
After Yue Sijue recovered from his illness, he followed the advice of his elder companion and fell in love with Jiang Shenyou.
Jiang Shenyou is very easy to coax, she has a kind and cheerful nature, and she has some control over her appearance. Yue Sijue only needs to play with her and say nice words to make her happy.
After establishing a relationship with Jiang Shenyou, Yue Sijue's life as a hostage was not difficult, and even compared to other hostages, it could be said to be very easy.
The palace people would not deprive him of supplies, and would even take care of him in order to gain the princess's attention. As long as he wanted pens, inks, paper, and inkstones, he could just mention it to Jiang Shenyou. If there was a shortage of something in the palace, he would just mention it inadvertently, and then he would take care of himself.
Someone will fill it in.
Rather than being a proton, he is more like a guest. His friends who are also protons are very envious of him.
However, Yue Sijue is a male protagonist with ideals and ambitions. He wants to unify the world, be the co-lord of the world, have unlimited glory, and leave a name for the ages, instead of being a proton who can only rely on women to live a better life.
Yue Sijue stayed in Jiang State until he was sixteen, and developed a vague love with Jiang Shenyou, who was one year younger than him.
This year, Concubine Yue Sijue was seriously ill. She wrote in a letter saying that time was running out and she hoped to see him again before she died.
Yue Sijue had already begun to secretly cultivate his own power when he came to Jiang State, and now it has grown to a small scale.
However, in the imperial city, it was difficult to rely on one's own strength to escape without alerting others.
Yue Sijue then set his sights on Jiang Shenyou.
Jiang Shenyou was easily soft-hearted, and because her sweetheart begged her hard, she agreed to help him escape.
So Yue Sijue, under the cover of Jiang Shenyou, successfully escaped from the imperial city and returned home smoothly.
However, Concubine Yue Sijue was too ill and passed away before he could return.
When he rushed back, his mother-in-law had been buried for many days, and he had not even seen her last face.
Yue Sijue is a narrow-minded person who easily blames others. He never feels that he is at fault, only that others are at fault.
He hated His Majesty Da Yue for sending him away as a hostage and being separated from his mother and concubine; he hated the Jiang Kingdom for being so unrelenting and the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and even if he traveled day and night, he could not get home to see his mother for the last time.
After Yue Sijue returned to Dayue, he gathered his forces, eliminated dissidents, and killed or maimed his brothers. He made the elderly Moon Emperor so angry that he vomited blood, and climbed to the throne of emperor by stepping on the bones of countless people.
In the first year after he ascended the throne, he launched a war against Jiang State to retaliate for the humiliation of hostage.
When Jiang Shenyou first heard the news of Yue Sijue's ascension to the throne, he was happy that he got what he wanted.
Who would have expected that he would turn around and attack her country, turning her help, expectations and love into nothing more than a slap, a joke, and an empty dream.
