The Guard Becomes Emperor in a Chaotic Age to Protect the Princess of a Fallen Kingdom

After her kingdom fell, Murong Yaosang became a princess of a fallen nation.

Rebels stormed the palace. Her once taciturn, devoted guard came through the bloodshed and knelt before her. “Your Highness, I will take you away.”

As the world descended into turmoil, he always kept his sword in hand and protected her side.

Later, he raised an army, fought to unify the realm, and became known to all as an ambitious warlord. Only Shen Lie knew the truth: he sought to conquer the realm so he could offer it as a betrothal gift and protect his princess's peace for the rest of her life.
