The Empress grows wary + resigns and leaves + unifies the realm + an immensely satisfying read!
In the Great Qian Dynasty, newly crowned top scholar Lu Yu helped the Eighth Prince turn the tables in the struggle among the nine princes and ascend the throne.
The Eighth Prince was terminally ill. On his deathbed, he entrusted his beloved daughter, Murong Xue, to Lu Yu, and asked them to rule the realm together.
A peerless genius, Lu Yu led campaigns across the land, purged corrupt officials, and subdued the three vassal states.
He repelled the Northern Liang invasion from without and quelled the Four Great Bandits within.
He crushed the Demon Cult and destroyed the Ghost Sect.
He made his mark on the frontier!
For a time, no one in the realm was unfamiliar with the name of Regent Lu Yu.
The Great Qian Dynasty also rose to prominence among the seven kingdoms of the Nine Provinces.
But with the realm still unsettled, Empress Murong Xue grew wary of Lu Yu's growing influence, fearing that one day she would be unable to control him.
She undermined him and stripped him of his office!
Then she framed him!
Lu Yu finally came to his senses. “I gave my heart to the bright moon, but the moon shines on the gutter!”
If that's how it is, then I'll leave, and you can clean up this mess yourself.
Besides, I've activated the System.
Murong Xue isn't the only empress in the world!
There's the seductive, bewitching Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult,
the gentle eldest princess of Shu, who's devoted to him,
and the proud Empress of Northern Liang, desperate to recruit talent...
This time, he'll have both the realm and the beauty, and unite the land!
I've read the first ten chapters and it's actually pretty good. I just feel like the background framework and story line might be a little big and complicated. I don't know if I can hold it up later.
