Protagonists: Su Aoqing and Long Xiaoyun
[Two formidable leads + palace intrigue + forced marriage + love after marriage + female lead disguised as a man + pursuing his wife to the crematorium + sweet, satisfying romance]
On the eve of her wedding into the imperial palace, she is bound hand and foot and forced to marry.
A young alliance leader, she trades her martial attire for the robes of a nation’s empress.
Then she goes on a rampage!
The emperor’s childhood sweetheart is in the palace: pampered, alluring, and arrogant, she reigns supreme in the harem. Everyone waits for the new empress to become a laughingstock, but she couldn’t care less.
She entered the palace only to protect him… Once the time is right, she’ll leave.
The emperor kicks his favorite consort aside and drops to his knees, pleading through tears: “Don’t go. I’ll give you my whole empire… How does that sound?”
She sweeps her sleeves aside, gallops off in a cloud of dust, and takes him with her to the frontier.
No one knows she has another identity: the young general with an iron mask and silver spear, whose name strikes terror into every heart on the northern battlefield.
