    Summary

    After years of war with the Yunmeng kingdom, it seems the Gusu empire finally found an advantage through the Venerated Triad Alliance. Although it would take a miracle for Yunmeng to win, Emperor Lan Wangji offers a ceasefire in exchange for General Wei Wuxian as a bride. Whether out of love or hate, neither the Jiangs nor Gusu's allies want this.

    Wei Wuxian is the only person willing to accept the deal and become a concubine. Although they are enemies, in all their interactions Lan Wangji has been honest and straightforward. So Wei Wuxian sets off in the dead of night to Gusu, but members of all the factions are willing to do whatever it takes to keep him from reaching his destination.

    Meanwhile, Lan Wangji is over the moon after receiving the acceptance letter and is excitedly preparing the wedding and his empress’s new pavilion. Unable to wait, he decides to covertly meet his bride halfway and escort him back personally. Although they’ve met, Wei Wuxian has never seen Lan Wangji’s face under his royal headdress, so he doesn’t know what Lan Wangji looks or sounds like.
