A lucky, hardworking, mischievous, kind, and clever young empress x a stoic, warm-hearted, chivalrous hero who is randomly plagued by bad luck
(An alternate history!)
The Cao clan founded Wei, which lasted forty-seven years and fell three generations later. In a single night, the ruthless yet amiable-looking power broker Sima Gu forced thirteen members of the Cao imperial line to their deaths. He sent the four master assassins of "Moonset Frostglory" and three hundred soldiers to search every corner of Chang'an, then placed every Cao noble under house arrest, leaving not one free.
But...
A fortune-teller once said that Princess Cao Yun possessed a rare fortune, the likes of which appeared only once in a hundred years.
Tonight, she lived up to that reputation, disguising herself and escaping the palace.
Jing Yan, the fastest swordsman under heaven, was always a step too late. Entrusted by the late ruler to rescue the Cao heir, he failed to find the prince, but did come across a young girl in men's clothing...
Cao Yun had survived. She remembered the fortune-teller's words: her good luck came at the cost of misfortune for those around her.
Was the fall of the Cao dynasty her fault?
She didn't know. All she saw was the hero beside her choke on a drink and pass out...
