Her Highness, Princess Shengyang of the noble Xiao Kingdom, resolutely led troops to reinforce the border amid the fighting.
The Western Expeditionary Army was betrayed outside the city of Biansha. Its soldiers were buried beneath the yellow sands, and all trace of them vanished.
The court charged Commander-in-Chief Yun Junhao with gross negligence, imposing a severe punishment: his estate was confiscated and his residence seized.
The whereabouts of the thirty thousand soldiers also became an unsolved mystery, giving rise to endless rumors about whether they were alive or dead.
Yun Qi, the sole surviving heir of the Yun clan, had been raised by Princess Shengyang since birth. Unwilling to let him suffer the same fate as the generation before him, the princess hid his true identity and wished only for him to live in peace and happiness.
Little did she know that, under the guidance of a reclusive master, he had already learned astonishing martial arts. He only needed the right moment to amaze the world.
The young emperor called him exceptionally shrewd and said his future was limitless. “Don't believe me? Then let's become sworn brothers first.”
Prince Yi was ambitious and brilliant, determined to restore the realm's glory, and he couldn't do it without him! The two set off west together...
In this war-torn land, the fighting never ceased. Prince Yi took charge, then turned around and sold him into slavery at a gold mine!
He cursed the man for having no conscience and blamed himself for choosing such a terrible friend!
Royal scions were born to wealth and privilege. No wonder they were so good at exploiting people!
After victory in the war, Prince Yi submitted a memorial to the emperor to commend him. But the emperor decided his accomplishments still weren't enough. With Biansha in ruins, the city needed someone to govern it, so he made him the Marquis of Anyang. If he wanted to go home, he could wait until Biansha prospered again.
Weary of the games played under imperial rule, he willingly bent his head for the people: bringing in honest officials, reclaiming wasteland, promoting trade, and opening schools!
“Whoever sits on the throne, he must remain the Marquis of Anyang!” The people's support rang across the grasslands.
All he wanted, though, was to return to the place where he had grown up and spend a happy life with the one he loved!
The emperor declared, “I shall make you Grand Marshal and grant you the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, so you can restore your family's honor!”
The writing is very realistic! It's a very good book, and it gets more and more exciting!
It's well written, but there are too many metaphors and decorative words. You can try proper line drawing! That way the reader experience might be better! 🫰👍👍👍
