(Bold, devoted heroine + hero with a secret identity and a difficult temperament + the hero's long road to winning her back + high-IQ palace intrigue + two equally matched leads + parallel court and martial-world storylines)
[Imperious, passionate emperor with a fierce and ruthless wolfish nature, whose true identity is exposed ✖ Proud, aloof general like a black lotus]
On the eve of the final battle against Beili, memories of Gu Zhaozhao's once-sweet days with Yun Ci kept forcing their way into her mind like scenes from a revolving lantern.
She remembered her first meeting with Yun Ci. Back then, he was still Lu Liuguang, a gentle and self-disciplined guard.
He was nothing like the ruthless emperor Yun Ci he had become.
Gu Zhaozhao could never forget how happy she had been the day she found Yun Ci on the street.
What she didn't know was that she had noticed only his handsome yet broken face, and missed the sharp glint that had briefly flashed in his lowered eyes.
So later, she was forced to go from a pampered young lady to a rebel general who struck terror into people's hearts, while he climbed onto her shoulders to become the supreme ruler.
Gu Zhaozhao thought it must have been the price she paid for falling in love with him at first sight.
But the past is the past, and the present is the present.
She won't put up with it anymore.

Does not match the introduction. It pissed me off. I didn't realize that this was a heroine story.
