Luo Ying, a modern female officer in a peacekeeping force, transmigrates to ancient times.
From the start, there are four corpses and a young man clinging to her leg, crying, “Miss, save me!”
The boy has a face as beautiful as a painting, a mysterious past, and is wanted by the imperial court after his entire family was wiped out.
Fine. I'll treat you like a tagalong and help you fight your way out of this brutal world!
Eleven years later, the boy becomes the founding emperor, and she becomes commander-in-chief of the three armies.
He says, “Ying Niang, you are the only one worthy of being my empress.”
But then he fills his harem with beautiful women, claiming it's a ruler's duty.
Luo Ying sneers. “To hell with being empress! I helped you conquer the realm, not so I could share a power bank with a harem full of women!”
She takes off her phoenix crown, fakes her death, and escapes to the distant desert.
She opens an inn, repairs horseshoes, brews fine wine, and builds a thriving life for herself.
Until the mad emperor, eyes bloodshot, tracks her down through three thousand miles of sand and wind, begging humbly:
“Ying Niang, I'll give you my entire empire. Won't you come back?”
It's good. I hope the heroine goes home 😘
The writing is delicate and emotional. It is not a cookie-cutter story about emperors and generals. It is very good.
A readable book with an attractive plot, suitable for calm reading.
