Walking the earth with a sword in hand
Love and hate freely without a plan
Stray into the red dust and grievances rise
Emotions become the hero’s demise

A bloodstained dress is the emperor’s dream 
The battlefield is not what it seems
One sword may bind or break the heart
Next life we’ll stay forever apart

Left with only her wits, modern knowledge, and all the dramas she’s ever watched, she must navigate this new world and become the smart and strong protagonist of her own story—without losing herself.

As the worlds collide and fates intertwine, will Wang Jingyuan find her happily ever after, or will reality shatter every beautiful daydream?

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Wang Jingyuan could hardly wait until nightfall. With her sword hanging by her waist and her new fur cloak tied around her shoulders, Wang Jingyuan bounded excitedly out of the He Manor and made a beeline towards the center of the Capital. Even from several streets away, she could hear the hustle and bustle of the crowd. She quickened her footsteps.
