[Lighthearted Historical Romance | Mild Political Intrigue | Monogamous Couple, Happy Ending]
Chu Conghuan had outlasted three emperors to become the Grand Empress Dowager of Beijiang. She thought she could finally slip out of the palace and disappear for good.
Who knew that on her way out, she would nearly drag a powerful figure down with her? Beijiang almost fell as a result. And Ji Xun, the enemy-state chancellor she had nearly scared to death, actually wanted to become her bodyguard?
So while she had people treating her like their revered ancestor, she gained one of her own.
And that ancestor began gently coaxing her.
“If Nanqi destroys Beijiang, what will you do?”
“I’ll take you, Nanqi’s chancellor, down with me. It’ll bring glory to my ancestors.”
“What if the two countries live in peace?”
“I’ll sacrifice you to Heaven to give my father an excuse to crush Nanqi. That’ll bring glory to my ancestors all the same.”
Ji Xun laughed. “Is bringing glory to your ancestors with me all you can think of?”
“For instance, muddling the bloodline of the Ji family’s generations of chancellors.”
Chu Conghuan’s eyes lit up. “Why not help me become emperor, then? Whether it’s Nanqi or Beijiang, they’ll all bear the surname Chu!”
Ji Xun laughed in exasperation. This had to be a guide to getting one’s entire family executed.
They wield great power, yet people are always nursing treacherous ambitions. Amid the chaos of a turbulent age, they scheme together and face every move side by side.
