Zhu shi jie yi

In the tenth year of Jiaxuan, Qiu Xinran was brought into the palace by her master's uncle, the chief of the Astronomical Bureau, and later became a companion to Princess Jiu. Qiu Xinran and the princess formed a deep bond and made friends with many from the academy. She initially had a misunderstanding with Xia Xiuyan, a hostage prince left in the capital by General Xia, but after they escaped together following a kidnapping, their feelings for each other grew. Tragedy struck when Princess Jiu died unexpectedly, and Qiu Xinran was determined to uncover the truth. Xia Xiuyan promised to help her find the real killer. When the border fell into crisis, General Xia died, and Chancellor Wu spread rumors accusing him of colluding with a neighboring country. Risking her life, Qiu Xinran petitioned for Xia Xiuyan to lead the army. Xia Xiuyan achieved multiple victories on the battlefield. Seven years later, Xia Xiuyan returned to the capital, now honored for his achievements. Reuniting with Qiu Xinran, the two worked together to expose Chancellor Wu's collusion with foreign forces and uncover the truth behind Princess Jiu's death. Justice was served, and the two lovers were finally united.
