The Eldest Princess’s Secret Crush on the General

Dual female leads / cool, devoted princess and utterly loyal senior general

Official title: Snow Falls on the Empire

Xiao Luoqing was blessed by Heaven from birth, bringing good fortune to Great Xia.

But fate played a cruel trick on her. When she was six, the empress tricked her into killing her own mother, Consort Dowager, and she fell gravely ill.

Through the snow, a pale little child entered the palace and stayed by her side every day, helping her emerge from those dark, joyless days.

Xiao Luoqing held on to the bond they had formed over four years. From then on, she plotted with the world as her board and the court as her pieces, manipulating events behind the scenes, all so that one day she would have the power to protect her.

Then her imperial brother laid out an easy road for her. Had all her years of painstaking scheming been for nothing?

Yan Shaoshu's life had been smooth sailing. Her parents were healthy, she grew up surrounded by their love, and she met Xiao Luoqing.

Then, when she was ten, her father died in battle. Yan Shaoshu left Xiao Luoqing and headed for the front lines. From then on, she won battles from a thousand miles away and was invincible, eventually becoming commander of the Northwest. Only when she planned to return to the capital and retire did she discover that there was something suspicious about the deaths of her father and brother. She decided to investigate the truth.

Yan Shaoshu: “A Qing, in this game with the world as its board, is there a place for me?”

Xiao Luoqing: “Shaoshu, as long as I'm alive, I'll protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life.”

Even if it means overturning the court and using herself as bait.
