The Phoenix Crown from the Desert

share time: 2026-02-27 12:30:48

Liu Ning, a prince exiled after his uncle's usurpation, pretends to be an idiot who can't even feed himself to escape assassination. In the desert, he meets Liu Lange—a girl from the marketplace who, though terrified of desert wolves,挤es next to him every night with a tattered quilt and splits her last steamed bun into two: "My father owed your family a debt; I must keep you alive." Her warmth melts the cold hearts in the desert, while Liu Ning hides his sharpness under his idiocy, practicing swordplay behind sand dunes every night. When assassins disguised as merchants attack, Liu Lange finally sees the truth: the "idiot" who couldn't hold a bowl is a fierce eagle, slashing the assassin's sword with one strike. Later, when he storms the imperial city and stands in the golden palace, he kneels with a pearl-encrusted phoenix crown: "I crushed all thorns that would harm you, just to place this crown on your head—from the desert to the palace, I never forgot you were the first to give me a warm meal."
