   Reader note

   A political intrigue novel featuring two powerful figures, all with sharp intellects. The plot is captivating, and the writing is excellent. In a chaotic world, Queen Yan Xi of Yan, to protect her state, proactively seeks an alliance with King Jin Mian of Jin. She comes for the alliance, but he demands she offer herself as a dowry. His casual remark, "Since the marriage is not yet finalized, the engagement can be voided," forces her to abandon her childhood sweetheart's engagement, guaranteeing the alliance's perpetuity through a marriage between the two rulers. When Yan collapses due to internal strife, the alliance becomes worthless. She forges a new Zhao state with blood and fire, severing the shackles of marriage and vowing never to be subservient to another. From wife and wife to strangers, from allies testing each other to rivals playing chess. Together they play chess, together they rely on each other, until the day their iron cavalry tramples the Central Plains, and the world realizes—the sharpest sword is never the only one sharp.
