(A career-driven heroine, two female leads. There is romance, but not much. The story focuses on the protagonists, with few chapters devoted to supporting characters. There are probably quite a few typos. Feel free to read if you like it, but please don’t complain if you don’t. It’s finished; just waiting to be posted.)
The capital’s number-one wastrel, Princess Yong’an, Xiao Shixu.
Xiao Shixu, Commander of the Northern Fortifications: “Can Longcheng be kept safe?”
Xiao Shixu, Governor-General of Jiangnan and Commissioner of Jiangnan Military Affairs: “Women have paths of their own, too.”
Xiao Shixu, Great General Who Guards the South: “We’re marching north. I’m going to march north!”
Xiao Shixu, Prince An: “A western expedition will cow the nations on the southern shore.”
Xiao Shixu, Prince Qi: “I want the soldiers guarding the frontier to never freeze to death again.”
Xiao Shixu, Crown Prince of Great Zhou: “The people of Liaodong are also people of Great Zhou.”
Xiao Shixu, Emperor of Great Zhou: “I may bring prosperity to all under Heaven, yet bring calamity upon the great clans. If one great clan falls, I can raise another. No one may feed on the flesh and blood of the people of Great Zhou. That includes me.”
She entered the imperial household at the age of four, first as a subject, then as a child of the royal family. She destroyed the Xiongnu in the north, defeated the Beidi, and rode her horses south to subdue Baina. She marched west into Liaodong and brought peace to the realm, laying a solid foundation for Great Zhou’s six hundred years of rule. With blade in hand and horse beneath her, she shook the four corners of the world. During her campaigns, she kept the surrounding nations from daring to raise their heads for a century. With her pen, she devised strategies to bring peace to the realm. Throughout her reign, Great Zhou never saw a single uprising.
Even the great clans that had stood for centuries had no choice but to bow before her.
“After I die, the people need not mourn. They are free to marry. The Crown Prince may ascend the throne in the capital without attending my funeral. My tomb at White Crow Mountain needs no gold or silver offerings. I shall not be buried in imperial robes, but with military honors, wearing the armor of the Celestial Strategy Army and wrapped in its battle flag.”
She was born in the northern frontier and buried there. The only ones who rest beside her are her eight thousand soldiers of the Celestial Strategy Army. All her life, she wished only for the people of Great Zhou to live in peace and prosperity.
The copywriter said that the only one who would accompany her to sleep was Tiance Jun, but what about her wife? [What][What][What] Isn't it Shuangjie? [What] [What] [What] 😅
