[Traveling through power + escaping to farm + being a strong woman + raising cubs + raising an emperor + picking up rough guys]
Dressed as a little palace maid in the cold palace, Shen Ying spent five years climbing from being a bastard who washed the palace to becoming Concubine Wan Gui's number one confidant.
Seeing that his twenty-fifth birthday is approaching, he can leave the palace and return to his hometown, becoming a wealthy and idle man.
But the imperial concubine stuffed the blood-stained second prince into her arms late at night.
"Shen Ying, take him away... To live!"
Looking at the baby in her arms, Shen Ying gritted her teeth and embarked on a road of no return.
One second he was a bird in the palace cage, and the next second he became the most wanted fugitive in the empire.
Is the groom greedy for money? Kill.
The maid snitched? Kill.
Surrounded by refugees? She backhandedly gathered into her first batch of soldiers.
The thousands of miles of escape became her recruiting ground.
In three years, she forged the stragglers into an iron army,
Let the down-and-out scholar take charge of money and food, and make the assassin of the world turn into a shadow.
From Beijing to Nanhai, she "picked up people" all the way.
The sick and weak doctor he rescued became a miracle doctor, and the defected general he recruited became a commander-in-chief.
Even the starving orphans on the roadside can become the sharpest knife in her hand.
Women are said to be weak, but Shen Ying only believes in one thing: only by surviving can the rules be rewritten.
They laughed at her for fleeing with Milk Baby, but they didn't know that she was holding the future new emperor in her arms.
They scolded her for being an ambitious woman in politics, but they didn't know that it was time for someone else to take over this world.
Until the cavalry broke through the city gate of Hunjun, Shen Ying helped the young emperor ascend the throne and rectified the name of the imperial concubine.
Standing behind her was the rugged prince who had surrendered to her even though he was a traitor to the enemy. She was the iron-blooded army she had built from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
Since cannibalism is the norm in these troubled times, it would be better for her to redefine the world.
Reader comments
It's one of the best books I've ever read. The story is tightly paced and the characters are very delicate. It is a good book worth reading.
Very nice! The rhythm is tight, link after link!
It looks okay so far, let's see if it looks better later.
