The border general Chu Cen guards Yunzhong County all year round, and the only daughter Chu Chao also grew up in the desert border town.She lost her mother when she was young and has a cheerful temperament. Although her father protects her by her side, she does not want to just be the daughter of a general and a noble lady.Once she secretly ran to the market and saw people surrounding a young man and lynching him.The man was called a slave, and others said he set fire to many people, but the Chu Dynasty refused to let anyone beat him to death in the street.She took off the whip and brought out the laws of Dachu, reminding everyone that even if the other party was guilty, they could not abuse lynching to take people's lives.Zhong Changrong came to take her away, worried that she would be involved in something she shouldn't be involved in, but Chu Chao had already buried his doubts about the unfairness of the world.

After returning to Chudu, Chu Chao had a dispute with his father.She complained that Chu Cen only cared about military achievements and border defense, and never really understood her wish to find her mother's old traces.Chu Cen was persuaded by his daughter to arrange a mansion for her in the city.Chu Chao originally thought she could live a more comfortable life, but fate soon pushed her to Xiao Xun.She became closer to Xiao Xun and decided that this relationship was enough to overcome her father's opposition.A year later, she took Xiao Xun back to the desert to propose marriage, but was ambushed on the way.In a critical moment, a man calling himself Fu Jiu came to the rescue.He was agile and dealt with the enemy without hesitation. He even killed the maid who was held hostage by the gangster with one arrow.Xiao Xun couldn't bear the death of the maid, but Chu Chao saw that the maid's clothes were similar to those of the gangsters, and she was an insider.For the first time, she realized that the softness and hardness of people around her were not always what they seemed on the surface.

Chu Cen refused to agree to the marriage, saying bluntly that his daughter was not suitable to marry into a wealthy family.However, the Chu Dynasty was immersed in its trust in Xiao Xun and insisted on returning to Chudu. He did not return to the desert for two years, but often made snacks for his father.Later, King Xiaonan made meritorious service, and the emperor granted marriage to Xiao Xun and the Chu Dynasty.Chu Cen felt uneasy and sent Fu Jiu to the capital to deliver the dowry and secretly protect his daughter.On the wedding night, a military riot broke out in the Chu capital. News came that the third prince had murdered the prince. Xiao Xun killed the third prince in the name of quelling the chaos.A few days later, the emperor died, the prince was dead, Xiao Xun ascended the throne naturally, and the Chu Dynasty also changed from a general's daughter to a queen.

After Xiao Xun ascended the throne, Chu Cen went to court and asked him to treat the Chu Dynasty well.Xiao Xun was gentle on the surface, but in fact he wanted to keep Chu Cen in the capital and seize control of the border troops.Chu Cen insisted on returning to the desert to guard the border, which made Xiao Xun feel murderous in his heart.Two years later, Chu Cen was summoned to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Chu Dynasty.In the main hall, the father and daughter had just reunited when a decree was suddenly announced. Chu Cen was accused of having an affair with Shuo Mo and murdering the late emperor, and the entire Chu family was executed.Chu Chao had no time to defend himself, as his father had already died in front of the palace.She was brought back to the palace, and Xiao Xun coldly revealed the truth about her years of use. It turned out that he had regarded her and the Chu family as a ladder on the road to seizing power from the beginning.The Chu Dynasty collapsed and tried to survive, but was strangled to death by Xiao Xun himself.

Fu Jiu broke through the siege and assassinated Xiao Xun, but Chu Chao's consciousness fell into an empty place.The tragedy of her previous life was still in front of her. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to Tianshu, where the emperor had just given her a marriage, nineteen years ago.A Le stayed by his side, completely unaware of what Chu Chao had just experienced.Xiao Xun came to discuss the marriage. Chu Chao looked at this familiar face and could hardly suppress his hatred. He said on the spot that he would kill him to avenge his father.Ah Le thought she had been poisoned and hurriedly took her back to the room.Suddenly, another self in the queen's clothes was reflected in the mirror. It was the shadow of resentment and hatred from the previous life.Chu Chao finally understood that God had given her a chance to come back. She could no longer be a pawn at the mercy of others. Xiao Xun and everyone who killed the Chu family must pay the price.
