[Strong Female Lead, Feel-Good Power Fantasy] [More than palace and household intrigue, with the martial world as well]
Bold, straightforward female general who loves a good fight VS a sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, secretly passionate imperial uncle
For generations, the Shen family had been a pillar of the court, loyal to the throne to a fault, yet they could not escape the curse of being so accomplished that they threatened the emperor.
Her father was falsely accused and stripped of his post, his life hanging in the balance.
Her elder brother was banished to a barren frontier.
Her fiancé wasted no time replacing her, and even wanted her as a concubine?
Shen Zhuohua hurled her silver spear to the ground. “With me here, who dares lay a finger on anyone in my family?”
When everyone turned against her as the family fell, only that chronically ill imperial uncle, who had long avoided court affairs, made his way toward her one careful step at a time.
The world laughed that he was frail, ill-fated, and had little time left.
But no one knew he held the remnants of the late emperor’s power in his hands and kept the fate of the court concealed. He had endured for years, waiting only for her to stand beside him.
He searched for fragments of the secret imperial treasure, the Heavenly Mechanism Box, to protect the realm for her. He shielded her from every blade and political scheme at court, and helped clear the Shen family’s name.
One moonlit night, Shen Zhuohua raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Your Lordship has been plotting at every turn. Do you mean to help me ascend the throne, or claim the throne for yourself?”
Xiao Yan bent close, his lips near her ear, his voice low and tender.
“Neither. Zhuozhuo, I only want to ask you this:
Do you dare to protect and love me for the rest of your life, just as you have always carried your spear to defend our land?”
Shen Zhuohua’s gaze was unwavering.
“I do.”
The plot is good, but the number of words is too few and not enough to read.
