Dual female leads + rebirth + yandere obsession + forced love + devoted one-on-one romance + mind-reading + two powerful heroines
Ling Yan, the strongest female leader of the apocalypse, is torn apart by a zombie horde and reborn as a puppet empress in an ancient dynasty.
From the start, she faces a deadly coup in the Golden Hall.
After awakening a mind-reading ability called “Liar Allergy,” she discovers that the court is full of jackals. The only one who truly wants her to live is Han Zheng, the icy female general leading the demand for her abdication. Her words and feelings don’t match.
Ling Yan licks her dry lips and smiles.
She publicly discards every last bit of her dignity, then issues the most outrageous imperial decree, making this untouchable beauty her only personal “slave,” available around the clock.
She makes her grind ink and orders her to share her bed, watching her go from restraint and patience to falling deeper and deeper.
She thinks this is only a Game of Thrones, a game of taming the ultimate prey.
Until one day, atop a towering cliff, that iceberg unhesitatingly uses her own body to shield Ling Yan from every blow.
Only then does Ling Yan realize she never wanted a slave.
Han Zheng kneels on one knee and puts the imperial boots on her, her voice hoarse and reverent. “Your servant’s life belongs to Your Majesty, and the realm should belong to Your Majesty as well.”
Ling Yan bends down, lifts her chin, and kisses her, her voice both commanding and tender:
“No.”
“The realm is mine. And you are mine, too.”
A deranged, possessive apocalypse empress versus an abstinent, devoted iceberg of a female general: a relentless hunt to the death in the name of love.
