Knight Princess

A preview from my collection: Enemies of the Entire Server [Full-Dive]. A powerful duo in a goofy monster-slaying story. Two spirited troublemakers working together are invincible. 【Boy King x Loyal Knight】 On Dongfang Yao’s eighteenth birthday, she killed the tyrant on his throne, feared by all and crowned champion of the league. Before retiring, the previous tyrant left her a curse: after you die, the world will be destroyed at once, and those you killed will be reborn in the new world. You can choose to stay behind, or go save the world. One thing worth mentioning: you aren’t among those who will be reborn. So I’d be busting my ass to send everyone else off to the afterlife, with nothing in it for me? Dongfang Yao had done plenty of things that hurt others without benefiting herself. Hurting herself was a first. At first: I’m healthy and will live to a hundred. What does it matter to me what the world looks like after I close my eyes and kick the bucket? Then she looked back at her sister, who didn’t have long to live. If I don’t go to hell, who will? Dongfang Yao accepted her mission in zero seconds. When she was twelve, her mothers left to travel the world, leaving Dongfang Yue Bai with only one person to worry about: her willful younger sister. In this vast world, from then on, there was only one person with whom she was closely connected. She didn’t know what it took to be a good older sister. She remained that person’s shadow and sword, until the world turned upside down and a servant rose to the throne. Whatever Dongfang Yao wanted, Dongfang Yue Bai would do everything in her power to offer it to her, even as the price became too high to pay. The struggle for the throne left her body with irreversible injuries. Day by day, she grew weaker and withered away. The woman who had risen to power became colder and colder, stubbornly refusing to accept her sister’s departure. “Yao can’t keep hiding behind me forever... After I’m gone, you’ll have to learn to be a good emperor...” Before her memories disappeared, all she saw was a pair of cold, obsessive eyes fixed on her, filled with sorrow and the quiet acceptance of someone who had endured it all. “Go to sleep without worry. I’ll take care of everything.” It was a miracle. She’d never thought she’d hear those words from her younger sister. But Dongfang Yue Bai knew in her heart that this would be their final goodbye in this life. Yet the eternal sleep she expected never came. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a brand-new world. In the streets before her, gongs and drums rang out. A huge banner announced the end of the monarchy and celebrated the anniversary of the tyrant’s death. Beside a fearsome portrait of the emperor, Dongfang Yue Bai saw her own face, with six huge characters beneath it: “The Tyrant’s Number One Hound.” After waking from a single nap, she’d somehow acquired a long record of bloody political achievements and been branded a disgrace to ministers throughout history. The only person who could compare to her was Cecilia, the most brutal ruler in history. History said that years ago, the tyrant had ruled the empire until Dongfang Yao, a champion of the league, killed her on her throne and restored peace to the world. But before the empire could even finish celebrating the tyrant’s death, the dragon-slayer became a dragon herself. Over the next four years, Dongfang Yao surpassed her predecessor’s record and became the most brutal ruler in the empire’s history. From beloved by all to abandoned by everyone, the emperor had only one person by her side: her ever-present knight, Dongfang Yue Bai. According to legend, Dongfang Yue Bai wielded a bloodthirsty scythe. Anyone who dared defy the emperor’s will became a soul beneath her blade. People feared her and called her the “White Reaper.” The tyrant went mad, slaughtering the world to secure her throne. The merciless reaper was willing to fall into an eternal sea of blood for her ruler. Their union was the most terrifying and earth-shaking event since the empire’s founding, and its shockwaves were still talked about centuries later. Dongfang Yue Bai, who’d never had a title or official status, but now got to experience the treatment of a legendary temptress after death: ? Dongfang Yue Bai, glancing at the history books scattered everywhere and seeing that the team that founded the new government was made up entirely of dead people: ? Two questions. Is this hell? Is everyone I can see a descendant of people who died ages ago? And the second question: where is my sweet, obedient, sensible, adorable little sister? Dongfang Yue Bai: Give me back my sister. Hey, friend, you look a bit like that tyrant’s hound! The old world was destroyed yesterday. Rebirth appears in the light. Only you will carry on the tyrant’s name, using blood and tears to forge a new world. Reader’s notes: 1. Happy ending; lots of supporting characters 2. The characters aren’t all good and kind. Both female leads do dark things 3. A supporting character has unrequited feelings for a lead 4. A hodgepodge of Eastern and Western elements and sci-fi. The female lead has an absurdly powerful golden finger; more details to come Theme: The path of a chosen one to the throne
