Synopsis

Murong Xue ascended the throne at sixteen, inheriting a battered and broken Xiliang: the treasury held only eight thousand taels of silver, the court officials were all scheming for themselves, and the borders faced enemies on three fronts. She had no System, no golden finger, no cheat of any kind. She had only herself. And Shen Mu, the boy who had grown up by her side. He joined the army at fifteen, became a deputy general at eighteen, and was made a general at twenty-two. The longest thing he ever said was “Okay,” and the most romantic thing he ever did was bring back a pot of flowers from the northern frontier. When a hundred thousand troops from the Canglang Tribe threatened the border, when ministers plotted to force her from the throne, when everyone said, “Xiliang is doomed,” Murong Xue stood on the walls of Yanmen Pass and said to Shen Mu, “You guard the north. I’ll guard the court. Xiliang will not fall.” For ten years, she never cried. At least, not in front of anyone. This is a story about how people without golden fingers can protect their country and the ones they love. No cheat codes, only steadfast perseverance, one step at a time. No System, only walls built of flesh and blood.

Good Stories About Fake and Real Heiresses

Modern true-and-fake heiress stories are everywhere and most are terrible. Either the biological heiress is a scheming green tea, or the fake heiress is one. Then the protagonist is reborn and takes revenge on the villains. Are there no stories where they get along peacefully, or stories of some other type? I once read a true-and-fake heiress story, but I cannot find it anymore.
