[Empress x Hostage Prince + Female Growth + Comeback + Chaste Hero]
Si Zhaoning was the infamous foolish ruler of the Southern Si Dynasty, known to everyone far and wide. Her brothers and sisters had all perished in palace intrigue, leaving her as the only imperial heir still living outside the palace.
She naturally inherited the throne and became an emperor whose name would stink for a thousand years in the history books of the Southern Si Dynasty.
She was incompetent and foolish, and notorious for her amorous ways. Whenever people heard her name, they cursed her and said she was unfit to rule.
Meanwhile, Cen Chuan, a hostage from an enemy state, was originally the third prince of Northern Liang. Because of his low birth, he was sent to the Southern Si Dynasty as a hostage.
He had planned to endure humiliation and lie low at Si Zhaoning’s side for his own benefit, but he never expected the fall of the Southern Si Dynasty to come so soon.
On the day the kingdom fell, as Si Zhaoning publicly humiliated Cen Chuan, the enemy hostage newly brought into the palace, before all the civil and military officials, the palace gates were breached. Enemy soldiers carrying weapons stormed into the great hall.
In the chaos, she fled, but before she knew it, someone shoved her into the lake. She grabbed the man who had pushed her and dragged him in with her...
And so began their frantic flight together...
