The day Yu Chao seized power, a sharp arrow pierced through her chest from behind.
She turned and saw the face of the person who had shot her.
The fierce look in her eyes faltered for a moment.
"So it was you."
She swallowed the metallic sweetness in her throat and forced a smile.
Yu Chao and Pei Jin had been at each other's throats for over a decade.
They had faced the winds and sands of the northern deserts together and fought on the grasslands of enemy lands.
From sworn enemies who tore into each other, to comrades who trusted each other with their lives.
And then, somehow, to a bewildering, irresistible attraction.
Pei Jin kept falling for her, again and again, powerless to stop himself.
Until the marquis's manor fell and the entire family was convicted.
Yu Chao, meanwhile, rose steadily through the ranks in the court's campaign against the marquis's household.
That same year, she was appointed commander of the Capital Guard.
The truth gradually came to light.
Carrying a bottomless hatred, Pei Jin faked his death and left the capital.
He spent six years leading an army back to the imperial capital, where he built a cage with his own hands.
All so he could clip her wings and take revenge for her ruthless, heartless betrayal.

Old-school, unhinged bloodshed
Great new article! Update soon! I want to see it!
Didn't you write about the previous book where a princess disguised herself as a man and went to an enemy country to be a hostage? 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 I really liked that book, but I'm also looking forward to this one
First, let me support you. From the introduction, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are going to take the route of hating the sea and loving the world. There is no gentle male protagonist like the previous book who amazed the years. I am looking forward to it.
