Everyone in the capital knows that Xie Heng, the Grand General who Guards the Nation, can’t stand pampered noble ladies.
And I am the frail commandery princess the emperor betrothed to him by decree. On our wedding night, I coughed up blood and fainted.
He watched coldly. “With a body as frail as yours, Princess, you’d best stop occupying the position of General’s wife.”
I lowered my head and meekly agreed, but once I turned away, I used his military tally to command three thousand cavalry to surround the Regent’s residence.
When Xie Heng charged in with a bloodstained sword in his hand, I was grinding the Regent’s face beneath my foot.
“My husband is right. Someone as frail as I am shouldn’t occupy anyone’s place...”
“So I killed your beloved’s father.”
