She was once the most honored eldest legitimate princess of Dayong, the “calamitous” princess whose story the history books dared barely mention.
Her mother died in a sea of flames. An imperial edict separated her from her childhood sweetheart, while even her closest relatives plotted against her at every turn... She crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood before claiming the position so many coveted.
From then on, a new chapter began in the annals:
In the fourth year of Yuanguang, she lived at the Marquis’s estate and met Xie Yan.
In the first year of Ninghe, she supported the young emperor and pacified the realm.
In the first year of Jingming, she ascended the throne and reshaped the world.
She was no longer a princess who brought ruin to the nation. She became an empress who could calm the realm with her pen and bring order to the world from horseback.
Written in chronological form, this book records the life of Xiao Yan, the empress of Dayong.
