The Fallen Kingdom's Princess: From Lowly Slave to Empress with Absolute Power

[A satisfying revenge story about a disfigured princess of a fallen kingdom] [Strong heroine × sickly, beautiful young man; she marries him as her imperial consort after ascending the throne]

My name is Wan Muqing. I was once the most cherished princess of the Great Yong.

The day the enemy breached the city, every member of my family in the palace was slaughtered. I was the only one left alive in the vast imperial household.

They searched every slave camp with my portrait in hand. To survive, I picked up a shard of broken tile and slashed half my face myself. Only with my ruined features could I escape that living hell.

While wandering in hardship, I met a reclusive female master and trained hard in the martial arts of killing. Then I concealed my identity and infiltrated the Chancellor of Chu’s household as a shadow guard.

That was where I met Murong Chong.

He was the Chancellor’s eldest legitimate son, peerlessly handsome, yet frail by nature, coughing and wheezing after only a few steps.

I stayed by his side to tend to his daily needs. Though he seemed delicate, he always put my interests first. As time passed, we developed an understanding no one could break.

I carried a blood feud, but never dared tell him who I truly was.

When the truth came to light, I thought he would fear the blood on my hands and my identity as a princess of a fallen kingdom. Instead, he marshaled the full power of the Chancellor’s household to help me plot my revenge and reclaim my homeland.

I crushed all my enemies and took back the realm that belonged to me, ascending the throne as empress.

With the empire in my grasp and all my people bowing before me, my first imperial decree was to marry Murong Chong and make him my one and only imperial consort.
