Synopsis

The ratings have just come out, so they’re bound to rise [Strong Female Lead + Unhinged Powerhouse + Yandere Devoted Dog + Entertainment Industry + Bringing Glory to the Nation + Both Pure]

She was the queen of the shadow world, controlling the lifeblood of the global arms trade. But after an assassination attempt, she had no choice but to take the place of a groveling celebrity in the entertainment industry. (If you’re into pampered wives and domineering CEOs, this isn’t for you.)

The whole internet mocked her for shamelessly clinging to every top-tier star, even wanting to lick Best Actor Gu’s trouser cuffs.

That is, until the variety show Heart-Pounding Challenge premiered…

She snatched pirate treasure from foreign mercenaries with her bare hands, then seized national treasures from black-market antiquities dealers and donated them to the National Museum!

Her scumbag fiancé comes looking for trouble? One kick sends him flying! The white-lotus act doesn’t dare cry too loudly!

The yandere Best Actor clings to her. She pins him in the shadows and nips at him: “Keep flirting and I’ll take you right here in front of the cameras!”

Gu Yunhuan, thrilled: “Master, I’m ready!”

Chu Ling: “…”

The production team, breaking down, revises the rules overnight: “As long as it’s not illegal, do whatever you like, boss!”

The National Security Bureau sits stunned: “Miss Chu, we have a mission…”

She says nothing, turns, and ventures alone into the jungles along a foreign border, taking down the largest weapons depot belonging to the local armed forces.

Thousands of rescued women and children bow to her. Covered in blood, she clutches the national flag and drops to one knee.

Her words, “Don’t be afraid. The soldiers of Dragon Nation are here to take you home,” bring the entire internet to tears.

Then the global military championship begins. Huaxia is targeted by six nations in a coordinated attack, and its most elite soldier is forced to withdraw with serious injuries. A nationwide call for recruits rings out.

Before the cameras, she strides onto the stage with the national flag over her shoulder:

“Codename: Yulong. Today, I fight on behalf of Huaxia!”

At that moment, global livestreams go haywire, and commanders around the world turn deathly pale!

Huaxia’s final trump card is the legend that vanished from the shadow world ten years ago!

[So the boss took someone else’s identity not to hide, but to…]

[Protect the nation.]

"She is a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom, the guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom." "Night Burial greets Master..." "Those who know me can call me Chu Ling; those who don't can call me Yu Long Ling..." "Soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, we've come to take you home." I can't take it anymore!!! It's so good!!! 😢😢😢😢😢 I just can't bear to part with it!!! It's so good!!!

At first glance, it's a fleeting glimpse into the entertainment industry; upon second reading, it reveals the undercurrents of national and historical events. Using the pen as a blade, it dissects the power struggles and unwavering commitments beneath the glitz and glamour, depicting how one person, in the torrent of history, single-handedly supports their own destiny.

Huanling CP is a must-read!! The author's writing is so good, I stayed up all night and finished reading it at 7:18! "The Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks pave the way, the rivers flow eternally, Cangjie's characters, Shennong's herbs, Xuanyuan's bow, the sun and moon shine together over the nine provinces. This is China." "Yulong, you were born to be the Victorious Fighting Buddha." "

This is the most moving book I've ever read on Tomato Novels. It brought tears to my eyes; it was so heart-wrenching 😢😢. Yu Longling is truly a person of great patriotism. Even when her body was nearing its limit, she still chose to complete the Great Wall Project, even knowing she would die. Her words, "A soldier of the Dragon Kingdom, to take you home," left a deep impression.

She is the ruler of the Dark Realm, the leader of the Epoch, the guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom, the queen of Country X, and a top star. Her line, "Don't be afraid, soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, we'll take you home," truly brings tears to one's eyes…

I think the author wrote it very well. The female lead is strong, beautiful, and intelligent. She loves her country. During the Great Wall Project, she could have completed her mission first and then gone to rescue people, but she chose to do so. She is the ruler of the Dark Realm and the queen of a nation, yet she never puts on airs and would risk her life to save her people.

It's definitely worth watching! 🥰 The patriotism is so strong, it brought tears to my eyes. The female lead doesn't try to hide her true identity; she's incredibly cool, capable, and kind. I couldn't get enough of her, especially the ending—it was so moving! 😢

This book breaks away from the traditional entertainment industry fantasy novels, and powerfully blends "strong women" with "national righteousness". Despite being labeled a "sycophantic celebrity" hated by the entire internet, she simultaneously snatched back national treasures with her bare hands and kicked a scumbag boyfriend in a variety show, while also secretly protecting her country around…

Before I knew it, I had finished watching it. It was truly wonderful. She is Chu Ling, she is Yu Long Ling, she is the leader of the era, she is a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom, she is the queen of X Kingdom. I burst into tears when she said, "Don't be afraid, the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom will take you home." She is a guardian angel, protecting everyone. Their story continues, it has never ended.
