Mountains and Rivers as Oath, The Throne as Dowry

Shen Zhaoning, the female general guarding the northern border, once made a vow with Gu Chengyu, the crown prince, taking mountains and rivers as their oath. However, the late emperor's sudden death forced Gu Chengyu to marry the prime minister's daughter to stabilize the court and ascend the throne, severing their ties. Three years later, when war breaks out in the north again, Shen Zhaoning leads her army back to the capital for help, only to witness Gu Chengyu's "affection" with the prime minister's daughter. To make matters worse, a secret letter from the enemy accuses her of "colluding with the enemy" — faced with the poisoned wine from her former lover (now the emperor) and the lives of her 30,000 soldiers, she clutches the jade hairpin Gu Chengyu gave her, determined to gamble whether there's any true love left in this empire wrapped in power struggles.
