The Powerful Minister Uncle Insists on Raising Me as a Rebel

[Political intrigue + a woman disguised as a man stirring up the court + strong female lead + two powerful, devoted leads + the leads join forces to overthrow a dynasty]

Yun Hanyue, a princess of a fallen kingdom who ended up in a music house, was cast out onto the streets at ten, carrying the hatred of her family and country.

There were two lights in her life. The first was Uncle Qizhao, who protected her as she fled and fed her with his own flesh, before finally falling in the snowstorm.

The second was Yunshang, a famous courtesan who rescued her from freezing to death and taught her the pipa, but was hounded to death by the Marquis's household.

From then on, revenge was all that mattered to her. At ten, she had already learned how to make her enemies “disappear” in the most secretive ways, so that their deaths looked like accidents.

Then a mysterious man appeared, and the two found they shared one goal: to overthrow the Great Chu dynasty.

He taught her political intrigue, drew her into the game, and personally propelled her into the heart of the storm that would topple the dynasty.

From the bloody night at the Marquis's estate to the court's shifting intrigues, every step was fraught with danger.

He was her guide, her protector, and a player whose depths were impossible to fathom.

She thought she was a pawn, a tool, but amid flashing blades and life-and-death trials, they saved each other and entrusted their broken souls to one another.

As warfires blazed across the land, he touched her bloodstained cheek and asked, “Girl, is this kingdom enough of a bride price for me to marry you?”

She stood with her sword before thousands of soldiers and glanced back with a smile. “What if I insist on taking the throne? Uncle, do you want the kingdom, or me?”

This is the story of an orphaned girl from a fallen kingdom, raised by a powerful older statesman into a female rebel who would overthrow the world, and of who would ultimately claim the throne.
