Three years later, Xu Chunming, the youngest chancellor since the founding of the Great Feng Dynasty, stands atop the walls of the capital, gazing down at the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Southern Jing army, their uniforms adorned with red silk.
The heir to the Prince of Southern Jing, clad in red and wearing a Yanluo mask, gives the order. The soldiers cry out in unison to Chancellor Xu: “We welcome the Princess Consort!”
Chancellor Xu removes her official hat. Her long black hair cascades down like a waterfall, and tears fill her eyes. “A Yu, you’ve come.”
Emperor Yuanzai’s attendant reads the imperial decree from the city tower: “Jing He, daughter of Princess Xingrong, has been entrusted with Our charge to oversee and govern the realm. Her talent and virtue are clear; diligent and unwavering, she will safeguard the peace of home and country. In recognition of her dignified virtue, We hereby grant her a fief of one thousand households and elevate her to the title of Princess Anding.”
Years in office, trading hairpins for a man’s cap, a career like a dream…
Xu Jinghe’s once peaceful, happy life is upended when her younger twin brother falls into a coma. Knowing nothing about court politics, she is swept into a web of deceit that has long been in the making.
She loses her loved ones and takes on the hatred of her family and country, fighting with her life on the line as she cuts down traitors one by one.
The heir to the Prince of Qin, known to the world as the Black-Faced Yanluo, is tender only toward her. He makes himself her shield, protecting her in his arms time and again.
When hatred stains her vision red, the cold Qin Yu becomes a warm beacon, rescuing her from losing her way.
She lifts the mask from Qin Yu’s face, smiling. “Aren’t you afraid the whole world will laugh at you? The dignified heir to the Prince of Southern Jing, content to stay by Chancellor Xu’s side as an unknown bodyguard.”
“What’s there to laugh at? You’re more important than my life.” Qin Yu draws his wife into his arms. “There may not be ten miles of wedding gifts, but an army of three hundred thousand here to escort you home is proof of how sincerely I’m marrying you.”
The plot is very realistic and the characters are fleshed out. It's great. I feel like the plot is about to unfold!!! The main reason is that the average IQ per capita is online, it is very comfortable to read, and the writing is very sophisticated.
