In their past lives, Grand Princess Zandra Chu and General Sexton Pei despised each other. Yet when their city fell, Sexton shielded her with his body, dying under a storm of arrows to sever their bond in the afterlife. Heartbroken, Zandra leapt from the city tower to die with her nation.
Reborn, Zandra keeps her vow to let him go. She gives him to her younger sister, Shera Chu, and petitions the throne to marry the Xiongnu prince in Shera’s place. Unaware of the truth, Sexton humiliates her again and again—until their wedding day, when lifting the red bridal veil, he realizes his fatal mistake far too late.
