At a victory banquet, Lu Zhao, the General Who Guards the North, publicly petitioned the emperor to dissolve his engagement to Shen Wei, the Shen family’s legitimate daughter. The entire court waited for her to lose her composure, but Shen Wei calmly replied, “I leave it entirely to Your Majesty.” The emperor issued three edicts on the spot. He approved Lu Zhao’s request and granted him permission to marry the woman he loved—but the third edict named Shen Wei Imperial Noble Consort and ordered her immediate entry into the palace. Once there, Shen Wei used her intelligence and courage to establish herself in the inner court. She and the emperor went from testing each other to trusting each other, joining forces to resolve palace disputes, political struggles at court, and a conspiracy by remnants of the former dynasty. Together, they quelled threats at home and abroad. In the end, Shen Wei was crowned empress and stood beside the emperor to safeguard the realm, while the tangled love and resentment of the past were finally laid to rest.
