Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Emperor Liang was greatly shocked. "Sir, do you mean—"


Mr. Zimu softly replied, "Your Majesty has two Imperial Grandsons, but there is only one Qilin, and it resides in the Crown Prince Mansion."


Emperor Liang furrowed his brows and asked, "Sir believes that Yuan'er is the Guardian Qilin?"


Mr. Zimu met Emperor Liang's sharp gaze and calmly said, "It's not what this humble one believes, but heaven's will dictates so."


That was clearly inconsistent with the State Preceptor's prophecy.


Emperor Liang withdrew his gaze and turned toward the lush, green branches outside the window. "Though I have long admired your renowned reputation, Qi'er was brought back to the Imperial City by the State Preceptor. Your opinion rather contradicts his, which puts me in a quandary."
