She is a cold-faced female general who disguises herself as a man and commands an army.
He is the scheming young chief minister who has been at odds with her for eight years.
Then their future daughter drops from the sky and, in front of the entire court, hugs her and calls her "Mother"!
Lu Zhiwei spent ten years serving in the army in her brother's place. Her greatest wish was to keep her identity hidden, save her own neck, and kick her nemesis, Xie Linzhou, out of court while she was at it.
But the Great Yong dynasty was nearing its end, the star chart at the Bureau of Astronomy shattered, and a five-year-old child appeared out of nowhere. She hugged Lu Zhiwei with one arm and Xie Linzhou with the other, calling them "Mother" and "Father" respectively. She also brought a "future family letter" that changed along with reality.
The letter foretold that in forty-nine days, Lu Zhiwei would kill the emperor and take the throne, Xie Linzhou would die by her sword, and their daughter would become the last survivor of a fallen dynasty.
To change their fate, the two enemies had no choice but to undermine each other in court by day, then sneak off to a secret residence at night to pretend to be a loving couple. Lu Zhiwei handled punching corrupt officials and kicking powerful nobles, Xie Linzhou handled patching up loose ends and hiding his secret identity, while the little one handled blurting things out in public
"Father says that every time he bullies Mother, he goes home and cries in secret!"
The entire court: I think we just heard something we weren't supposed to.
But no one knew that the person who had sent the child back was none other than the future Lu Zhiwei, the one who would kill her husband and claim the throne...
Should they hurry up and get married or not? And who should they overthrow to claim the throne?
