She and she met when they were nobodies. Amid the chaos of a troubled age, they turned the tide and saved a crumbling empire. One childhood friend loved weapons more than pretty clothes; the other was a goofy, cunning empress who loved to slack off. Together, they spent decades side by side and wrote a legendary tale of a ruler and her subject.
She and he: one was an orphan girl living in a temple, the other a young man from a family with a century of history. In the year he was most lost and helpless, she rescued him in front of Jianchu Temple. For the next ten years, she stayed at his side and cleared every obstacle in his path. She watched him build a tower, watched it fall, watched him marry someone else, and watched the earth cover him.
She and he: one was a scheming, changeable charlatan who was exceptionally good at staying alive; the other was an elegant young man who could neither hear nor see. He used his family's influence to help her ascend the throne, and she used ten years of honing her resolve to win a legacy that would endure for ages, for the two of them.
