Red Robes Can Dance Beneath Red Blossoms

[Decisive, Straightforward Heroine x Gentle Hero Who Plans for Every Contingency]

Su Ruoyun, daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, had trained in martial arts from a young age. She had long dreamed of roaming the jianghu, but her parents had always refused to let her go.

To keep her from being caught up in the struggle for the throne, her father chose the palace examination’s third-place graduate as her husband before leaving on a campaign.

This time, Su Ruoyun pretended to agree, planning to find a way to get rid of the third-place graduate later, then seize the chance to leave the capital and roam the jianghu.

But life is full of unexpected twists.

The border was in crisis, and her father had fallen unconscious. Because of this, the third-place graduate’s family abruptly went back on their word. They stopped Su Ruoyun, dressed in red wedding clothes, in the street and refused to let her inside.

Su Ruoyun had originally planned to spare the third-place graduate some embarrassment, but she ran out of patience. Su Kuyun tore off her red veil and pierced it with a single thrust of her spear.

“If this is what marriage means, then we’re not getting married!”

She tossed aside the tattered red veil and rode straight away.

With her father’s life hanging in the balance at the border, how could she stand by and do nothing just to look after herself?

After riding a thousand miles day and night, Su Ruoyun disguised herself as a man and joined the border army.

On the battlefield, she bested all her rivals, routed the enemy forces, killed their general, and captured their commander alive.

Yet when she returned to the capital, these great accomplishments dragged Su Ruoyun into the struggle for the throne, forcing her into a political marriage with the Second Prince.

Just as the Second Prince’s plan was about to succeed, the chronically ill Eldest Prince suddenly appeared at court, acting entirely out of character.

Kneeling in the great hall before all the court officials, he kowtowed and said, “Your son has long admired Ruoyun. I beg Father to grant us permission to marry!”
