A Dream Falls on the Capital [Historical Romance]

[Strong heroine + historical political intrigue + ensemble cast] A powerful general's daughter × a young lord who can be both sweet and fierce

Cleansing the emperor's court and eliminating traitors had always been her lifelong ambition.

The path of the civil official, the path of the warrior, the path of the crown prince, the path of the emperor.

Born with a mortal body, forced to forge immortal bones.

Pacify the realm, read people's hearts, seek a way to survive, glimpse long-held wishes, break deadlocks, and fall before the others...

For years, she led troops into battle and rode across the frontier. But fate toyed with her, denying her every wish. White curtains and red silk drifted down before her eyes, strand by strand: love unreturned, love gained but not cherished. By the time she turned back, not a soul remained.

That year, she raised her cup and drank deeply.

“May the mountains and rivers endure, and the great hawks live on.”

This year, she raised her cup with a bitter laugh.

“Just a dead bird. Better late than never.”
