A heroine disguised as a man + false and true princes + no romantic pairing + tragic ending
Xiao Mingyu no longer knew why her mother had made her disguise herself as a man, but she knew there was no turning back now. Only by taking the throne could she avenge her mother and bring peace to the Xiao Kingdom.
Mo Ying: I will always stay by your side and follow you, my master, my emperor. Even in death, I will be buried beside you!
Xiao Mingjing: Imperial Brother, I want that throne. But if it’s you, I can become your blade and clear every obstacle in your path. I will think what you think, wish for what you wish, carry on your ambitions, and protect the people of this realm.
There may be a few plot points that don’t quite make sense. This story is full of my own headcanon, so it’s normal if some things don’t add up, right? *\(^o^)(*)
It's not too much to give yourself a five-star review [shy]
