This is a work of fiction set in an imaginary ancient world.
A genius physician × a ruthless emperor
“My heart is set on this. I cannot bear to see the people lamenting in misery. If there is even the slightest hope, I will devote myself wholeheartedly and do everything in my power.”
It was said that the emperor of Wulong was cruel and bloodthirsty. On the day he ascended the throne, the entire Qingfeng Sect was drenched in blood. He had murdered his father to seize the throne and had countless lives on his hands: a tyrant through and through. Years later, the tyrant sought to unify the realm. With the horrors that had befallen Beiyang still fresh in their minds, Cangqian had no choice but to beg for a marriage alliance to ease tensions.
But the princess sent to marry him was determined to take to the battlefield. The thought of being confined to the inner palace despite her martial skills filled her with anguish.
“If my sacrifice can bring peace to the realm, then I will have done right by its people.”
“Yinyin, I know your ambitions lie far beyond these walls. Don’t worry. Your elder sister will take care of everything.”
She had once planned to infiltrate Wulong and poison the tyrant. But as they spent day after day together, she discovered that he was no tyrant at all.
“Stop crying. What kind of ruler insists on crying in someone’s arms?”
“Hmph! I’ll cry if I want to!”
She saw that Wulong was flourishing, its people living in peace and prosperity, with no treacherous ministers throwing the court into chaos and no corrupt officials bleeding the people dry.
Could there be more to the story?
She was willing to wager on it, and he was willing to let her win.
When pirates wreaked havoc and threatened their homeland, the two nations stood together through life and death.
When traitors plotted to upset the peace, the two joined hands to repel their enemies.
“May bright light descend, and every household know peace.”
“You and I will never be parted, in life or death.”
The heroine is gentle yet strong, devoted to saving the people.
The hero seems ruthless but is a crybaby at heart. All he wants is a hug from his wife.
I have a question. It's unlikely that Yu Fu wouldn't know Chu Tianyao, since even the storyteller knows him, and he always refers to himself as "I, the Emperor." It's unlikely he'd deliberately conceal his true purpose, pretending to be an innocent girl preparing for the talent show, and then assassinating someone, as the synopsis suggests. [Note] This story also has a fantasy element.
