After her grandfather's death, Bai Hanyun was disowned by her parents and cast out of the Bai family. With nowhere else to go, she left the city and returned to the countryside. There, by a twist of fate, she discovered an antique mirror hidden in the basement of her newly purchased home. From that moment on, strange events began to unfold—until one day, she stumbled upon a prayer from a young general.

Feng Xiyan, besieged by the Yuezhi Tribe and betrayed by the imperial court, had been driven into a desperate corner. With no access to water, food, or medicine, he and the citizens of Xiqiang City could do nothing but await death. But just as all hope seemed lost, Heaven intervened. From that moment on, the Feng Army and the people of Xiqiang City had enough food and water, living lives more prosperous than even the Emperor himself.

Rising from the floor, Wu Ruizhan said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."


Looking at his travel-worn clothes and tired expression, the emperor said, "Thank you for your hard work in bringing Zhen's imperial elder brother and imperial younger sister back from the Yu Empire."


"This is what this subject should do," Wu Ruizhan responded calmly.


Satisfied with his answer, the emperor added, "Great General Wu, you must be tired after such a long journey. Your family must have been waiting for your return. Go back and get a good rest. Tonight, Zhen will hold a banquet to welcome you and the soldiers."


The emperor waved his hand in response. 


Wu Ruizhan then added, "This subordinate will take his leave."


After saying that, he bowed once more to the emperor, then turned around and left the Hall of Benevolence. As he passed Jin Cen, Jin Yan, and Shi Yixi, he couldn't help but feel disappointed at their lack of response.
