(A princess rises to become emperor) (Unifies the world) (A world of powerful women, not female supremacy)
(Not a romance between women) (Yue Jiuzhao has a male lead, but he’s just a mascot)
Yue Jiuzhao, the “Calamity Princess” of the Southern Yue Kingdom,
was born when Empress Yue Yuxuan suffered a difficult labor and nearly died.
As a child, she almost caused her older sister’s death.
After coming of age, she indirectly triggered a war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Fortunately, the Northern Emperor Xue Yujin recognized her worth and chose her as a hostage, bringing her back to the Qin Dynasty.
A conspiracy by foreign tribes, centered on this powerful-women dynasty, gradually comes to light.
It turns out women rule in this era because of a devastating plague that broke out eight hundred years ago.
The plague was sparked by a foreign invasion and the ensuing chaos of war.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties, at the heart of the conflict,
lost more than ninety percent of their able-bodied men.
The women left behind had no choice but to take up swords, spears, and halberds to defend their homes,
and eventually drove the foreign tribes back to the desolate lands beyond their borders.
More than eight hundred years have passed since then.
Men, who have grown stronger under the protection of women’s rule,
have been swayed by foreign tribes and begun to harbor improper ambitions...
How will Yue Jiuzhao defy fate in this era plagued by internal and external threats?
And can she save the Golden Luan Emperor Xue Yujin, who is sacrificing herself for her country...?
