About this season
Legend has it that the Han and Di families together established the Great Jing. However, ten years ago, the Di family was convicted of treason, leaving behind only one orphaned girl imprisoned in Daishan. Ten years later, Han Ye, the determined crown prince who aimed to rescue the Di family's lone survivor, unexpectedly crossed paths with a spirited and enchanting female pirate who claimed that she would marry none other than him. She called herself Ren Anle and brought with her a fleet of thirty thousand soldiers, arriving in the capital city to seek the prince's hand in marriage. Throughout the process of relentlessly pursuing Han Ye, Ren Anle demonstrated remarkable wit and intelligence. As their shared values and national aspirations aligned, Han Ye couldn't help but develop affection for Ren Anle.
