Next book: After the Eldest Princess Woke Up. A highborn little demon princess and a domineering ruler with a motherly streak Blurb: [Alluring, seductive temptress × mighty, domineering, free-spirited emperor (a poser who can't keep himself under control)] In the tenth year of Yonghe, the realm was unified, and a nationwide selection was held. Qin Shuo, the Great Cheng emperor who had achieved an immortal legacy, was not yet thirty. Over eight feet tall and strikingly handsome, he still had not a single person in his harem. For a time, women from noble families flocked to the selection, fighting tooth and nail for a place. In the end, only a dozen or so were chosen to enter the palace and meet the emperor. At the investiture ceremony, every woman who had not been rejected received a title, with one exception: the daughter of the Grand General Who Protects the Nation, known as the living incarnation of Daji. Si Tanying. Countless cold, scornful gazes turned her way. In the very next moment, they watched in disbelief as the emperor's trusted aide, the chief palace eunuch, respectfully addressed her as Lady Si, bowing and scraping as he invited her into the Golden House. The young ladies who had just mocked and looked down on her twisted their faces with jealousy, their fingernails breaking in their palms. They gritted their teeth. "She only got it because of her face." . That night, as expected, the emperor chose Lady Si's nameplate. The warm chamber, its brocade carpet embroidered in gold, was filled with the hazy glow of misty silk. The beauty on the couch was like a painting, like a demon, captivating the soul. The tall, mighty, free-spirited emperor crouched down and carefully held the exquisite woman's golden shoes. In the wavering candlelight and its bewitching shadows, a jade-white leg reached out from beneath the golden dragon and phoenix curtains. Her tiny, jade-like toes lightly hooked beneath the emperor's chin. Her voice was soft as honey: "Brother Ashuo..." Before she could finish, his large hand clenched uncontrollably. A soft laugh. A hint of mockery. . Si Tanying met Qin Shuo when she was fourteen. At sixteen, he plotted to take her by force and kept her hidden away in a Golden House as his private possession. Years later, she escaped the deep palace by her own efforts and won her freedom beneath the open sky. Then an imperial decree summoned her back to the palace. As the emperor, once so lofty upon the Golden Throne, bent down and knelt before her in heartbroken desperation, begging her to forgive him... Her gaze remained as still as deep water, without the slightest ripple. She smiled sweetly, just as she had all those years ago. In a gentle voice, she said: "Then have Your Majesty lock me up, put me in chains of black iron, and tie me beside your footstool every day like a dog. How does that sound?"

But what if the younger-brother-obsessed emperor and the wife-obsessed general cared most about the same person? . Su Shanghua, the Grand Princess of Great Yu, was noble and resplendent, traveling the world and doing whatever she pleased. And whatever she pleased included single-handedly forcing her elder brother into taking the throne. It also included hiding her identity, sleeping with a certain feudal lord for a full six months, not caring about his identity at all, and planning to keep the child and get rid of the father. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to get rid of the father. Instead, she suffered an accidental head injury and slept for over a month. When she awoke, desolation filled her eyes, and she was alone and helpless. The fear of dying made her vulnerable for the first time. She wanted to see her elder brother, and she wanted to see Yan Lang. So many things no longer mattered. All she wanted was to go back to bickering with her brother every day and spend her nights in warm red silk curtains, close beside Yan Lang. But she never expected the world outside to be on the verge of collapse. In the sixth year of Chengping, the feudal lord who ruled the northern frontier disobeyed the emperor's order to reduce the size of his fief. A million soldiers faced off along the Jin River, which divided north and south. With battle about to begin, the war drum was on the verge of being struck when a crossbow bolt whistled through the air, ringing like metal across heaven and earth. On the opposite bank, a woman in red sat astride a prized imperial horse, holding an ornate bow. Her beauty outshone all the treasures of heaven and earth. Her clear voice rang out, brimming with fury: "Su Shanga, Yue Yan, have you two grown tired of living? Are you looking to die?" Su Shanga was the emperor's personal name. Yue Yan was the honored name of the feudal lord. No one in the world had ever dared to call them that. Reader's Guide: ① Extreme height difference (Our princess isn't short.
