Huazhaolu, the eldest princess of Western Shu, has always loved three things most: wielding power, reviewing memorials, and killing. Her beauty is dazzling, and she lives as wildly as she pleases.
No one knows where she came from. They only know that two years ago, the powerful Grand General suddenly brought back a sworn younger sister. She issued decrees on behalf of the young emperor and was invested as the Princess Who Guards the State. From then on, she lived in glory.
At first, people thought she was nothing more than a pretty ornament who depended on others. Later, they realized how wrong they were. Her methods were every bit as formidable as the Grand General’s. If people went out of their way to avoid the general, they would rather feign illness than attend court when Huazhaolu was there.
The old emperor of Great Zhou, a longtime rival of Western Shu, had three sons. The most useless of them all was Bai Qicheng.
At a grand political marriage ceremony, Huazhaolu, who was supposed to become the crown prince’s consort, was married instead to this handsome but utterly useless pretty boy.
On their wedding night, as blades flashed around them, she declared that she would claim the realm, thinking she could scare the pretty boy off. To her surprise, he only smiled faintly and said:
“Fine. I’ll give it to you…”
“Whatever Your Highness wants, I’ll give you…”
This time, Huazhaolu herself is in control of her life.
Damn, this is a sadistic novel. Both endings are B. It can only be said that God's will has played a role in people. The thing between them is the hatred of destroying the country!
