A powerful couple + three pure-hearted leads + sweet romance + light political intrigue + love at first sight
[Gentle, sophisticated older aristocrat]
x brilliant and resourceful Crown Princess, an expert in both strategy and martial arts
[Devoted, lovesick, jealous heir of the Northern Frontier]
A modern-day ace assassin is reborn in the womb, and from the start she is the Crown Princess, with a prestigious status and all the affection she could ask for!
At twelve, she takes on palace intrigues and puts the scum in their place. At fifteen, she uses her cheat-like abilities to invent firearms and cannons, then heads south to blast the neighboring kingdoms into submission and expand her territory by force.
After the firearms division is established, the Empress hosts envoys from two kingdoms. A farce before the banquet leads Yan Jing to discover that the handsome, pale-skinned man she casually rescued in Nan Shou after expanding the realm is none other than Helan Xiao, heir to the Northern Mirror Kingdom!
“What a coincidence, you’re bathing here too…”
Helan Xiao sits naked in the pool. He glances at the huge hole in the roof, then at Yan Jing, who is covered in dust.
“Is it… a coincidence?”
At the banquet, Yan Jing presides as the heir to the throne. Her words reveal superb political acumen, and she handles every situation with poise. She is nothing like the mischievous, carefree girl Helan Xiao saw before, displaying the composure and intelligence expected of a nation’s future ruler.
Seeing this side of Yan Jing, Helan Xiao’s heart stirs and he secretly falls for her, unaware that she is already engaged!
For the sake of an alliance between the two kingdoms, the Empress intended to break off the engagement with the Xie family, but they strike first!
Xie Shouyu: “As long as I can remain by Your Highness’s side, I’m willing to be the junior husband.”
Yan Jing (moved.jpg): “What more could a woman ask for than such a fine husband?”
Meanwhile, the traitors of the Yan Chi Kingdom secretly join forces with Helan Qi, the illegitimate son of the Northern Mirror Kingdom, plotting to seize the world…
