In the thirty-seventh year of Dayao, the late emperor died suddenly, leaving behind his only bloodline - the newly hairdressed princess Chu Weilan. The powerful officials forced her to depose herself on the grounds that "women are not allowed to come to court." However, Xiao Che, the commander of the imperial army, broke into the side hall with a bloody sword and said: "If the princess wishes to ascend the throne, I am willing to cut a bloody path for your majesty."
Chu Weilan clenched the phoenix seal in her palm tightly, her nails digging into her flesh: "I want this throne, not for anyone's fulfillment, but to show the world that a woman's dragon robe can still hold down thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."
Three months after she ascended the throne, she took off her hairpin, tied up her long hair, and overturned the foundation of the noble clan with a "Land Equalization Order" in the court hall. However, she murmured to the late emperor's spiritual throne late at night: "Aye, they say I don't look like a woman, but a woman's weakness has long been worn into armor by this palace wall."
Xiao Che is always watching her from the dark.
