[Strong female lead] [Ancient political intrigue] [Woman disguised as a man] [Court struggles] [Love of country and people] [No romance, career-focused]
In court, Chancellor Liang Huaijin holds absolute power.
Outside the court, people are starving in the streets, and the government granaries are empty.
And I, bearing the identity of the heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, hold the Imperial Sword and swear to tear apart this rotten world.
They say I’m too sharp and will break easily.
They throw me in prison, strip me of my military command, and cut off my supplies.
But they don’t know…
A million refugees outside the city kneel and cry, “Shen the Just!”
Three thousand Imperial Guards are willing to die for me.
Even the rebel Xiao Ce sends medicine to stop the bleeding, saying, “The wounded can use this.”
The emperor wants me to slaughter civilians to win favor. The court officials want me to kneel and beg for my life.
I say, “From this day on, the blade in my hand, Shen Yan’s blade, will protect neither a throne that devours its people nor the emperor. It will protect every soul under heaven.”
Later, a new ruler takes the throne.
The new emperor asks what reward I want.
I say, “It’s time the people of this realm had enough to eat.”
A woman disguised as a man, commander of the imperial guards × a rebel leader who cares for all the people
She isn’t protecting the emperor. She’s protecting every person who lives on this land.
