“Other women become empresses by learning the rules and competing for favor. She becomes empress with a Redflame Saber at her waist, turning the harem upside down!
Xiao Chengyuan thought he was marrying a pawn. Instead, she turned the tables on him.
“Attend you tonight? No time. I’m going to the training grounds to teach the palace maids how to use a saber.”
“Protect you? Easy. Before the assassin can even get close, her blade is already at the emperor’s throat. ‘Your Majesty, next time you go incognito, don’t wander into dangerous places.’”
Until he digs up an old memory: the little girl who charged out with a woodcutter’s axe when he was hunted by the Quanrong all those years ago... was it her?
“Lin Zhaoyue, I’ve waited ten years to hear you say that.” He catches her wrist and presses it against his chest. “Now it’s my turn to protect you as you investigate your wrongful case, put down the rebellion, and become the boldest empress in all of Great Qi.”
A wild girl raised among the border troops versus a scheming emperor who has hidden his feelings for ten years. With weapons in hand, they’re comrades; once their armor is off, they’re lovers who know just where to strike each other’s soft spots. This imperial couple is wild and sweet!”
