Strip Me of My Heirship? The War God Faked His Death to Help Me Claim the Throne

Luo Qing spent ten years as crown prince, mastering the arts of imperial rule. She could steady the court and keep the officials in line.

But the late emperor favored his youngest son. A single edict changing the heir shattered her lifelong ambitions and glory.

Her younger brother ascended the throne and saw her as a thorn in his side. With a political marriage decree, he betrothed her to Pei Jing, the frontier’s celebrated general.

On the eve of the wedding, news spread through the capital that the general had died in battle. Ordered to enter his household, she became a laughingstock and had to lie low within the general’s clan to survive.

Pei Jing despised the court’s power struggles. To keep his family safe, he faked his death and fled trouble. He had hoped to roam the land freely, never expecting that this princess had already taken firm control of his household.

One lost the position of heir and plots at every turn, hoping only to reclaim control of the realm. The other abandoned fame and rank, yet was drawn against his will into the struggle for imperial power.

They test and restrain each other, but amid endless court intrigues, rebellions among the imperial clan, and false accusations from civil officials, they become each other’s only lifeline.

She wields her brush to set the court’s chaos right. He dons his armor to defend the empire’s vast frontiers.
