[Short story + happy ending]
The heroine is the Grand Judge of the Supreme Court, a blade personally forged by the emperor. On the day she takes office, he grants her a residence, fertile fields, and ten thousand taels of gold; he allows her to meet him without kneeling, carry a sword before him, and execute first and report later.
The hero saves her from danger and keeps her safe. He willingly becomes her subordinate just to stay by her side.
Poisoned, she is gravely injured as soon as she enters the martial world.
Years later, she returns with the entire empire in her grasp.
A god's life is long, but loving just one person is enough.
There will be short stories about their past and present lives later.
