1v1, strong male and female leads, ancient political intrigue, historical fiction
In the ninth year of Hongwu, an imperial decree was issued, marrying a valiant daughter of a military family into the imperial clan.
As the red candles flickered, the woman beneath her veil fixed her bright phoenix eyes on him. “Your Highness, look carefully. I am Xu Miaoyun, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family.”
For ten years, she honed her blade. She bore him children, and he let her stand head and shoulders above the rest.
When Jianwen’s campaign to curtail the vassal princes struck, Zhu Di rode out of Beiping with his robes stained in blood. “I’m leaving now. I’ll either end up in the underworld or on the imperial throne!”
With an enemy army of three hundred thousand at their gates, Xu Miaoyun climbed the city wall. The beacon fires lit up her stern features. “As the mistress of Prince Yan’s residence, I will stand with Beiping to the death!”
When the smoke cleared from Yingtian, Zhu Di’s bloodstained hand clutched her wrist. “This dragon throne is cold. I need you beside me to make it feel secure.”
He placed the phoenix crown on her head with his own hands. She brushed her fingertips over the scar between his brows.
“The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers still stand. Your Majesty, it’s time to call me Empress.”
I really like this pair of emperors and empresses. Come on, the author!
It looks good, I also like Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun very much
