Betrayal: The Empress Stabs Me in the Back and Founds a New Nation

Fifteen years ago, a demonic tide swept across the world. At his master's dying request, Dongfang Yunfei took responsibility for protecting his junior sister through the chaos.

For more than a decade, he fought through bloodshed, slew demon generals, gathered refugees, and built impregnable fortresses. He carved out a sanctuary from the scorched earth and paved the way for her to ascend the throne.

Yet barely a month after the founding of Dashun, the day of his victorious return became the day he was cast aside once he had served his purpose.

She proclaimed herself the Flame Empress and summoned him back to court under the pretext of marriage. In truth, she joined forces with her new favorite to corner him at every turn, taking his military authority, cutting off his provisions, and stripping him of his title. She wanted only to trap him in the Eastern Palace as an obedient "imperial consort."

Faced with impeachment by the entire court and the betrayal of the woman he had once cherished, Dongfang Yunfei crushed his teacup, handed over his commander's seal, and walked away.

While she was still congratulating herself, she had no idea that she had just broken her own backbone with her own hands.
