Work Review: The notorious court spy Yan Xiao Han and the meritorious general Fu Shen are natural enemies and sworn opponents. Unexpectedly, fate intervenes – the general is ambushed on the battlefield, suffers leg disability, and is then married off by the emperor to his enemy Yan Xiao Han.
A single imperial marriage decree forces the mutually hostile pair to marry and live together. As time passes, they discover the other is not entirely worthless or unattainable. The narrative flows naturally, with twists and turns, deeply moving emotions. A ridiculous marriage leads to an absurdly “heaven-made” match, with the general and powerful minister gradually probing and approaching each other. However, the imperial court is full of shifting political currents, with various forces stirring beneath the peaceful surface. How will these opposing sides ultimately unite? As the plot progresses, the protagonists are pushed to a crossroads of destiny, their future uncertain and eagerly anticipated.
