Since ancient times, whenever imperial authority and military power have been divided, either the emperor or the general has perished.
But what if the sister-obsessed emperor and the wife-obsessed general both care most about the same person?
.
Su Shanghua, the Great Yu's eldest princess, is noble and graceful, yet travels the world doing whatever she pleases.
And doing whatever she pleases includes forcing her elder brother to take the throne, whether he wants to or not.
It also includes concealing her identity, sleeping with a certain marquis-general for a full six months without caring who he is, and planning to keep the child while getting rid of the father.
Unfortunately, she failed to get rid of the father, and instead suffered a head injury that left her unconscious for over a month.
When she woke, she found herself alone and helpless, surrounded by desolation.
The fear of dying made her fragile for the first time. She wanted to see her elder brother. She wanted to see Yan Lang.
So many things no longer mattered. She only wanted to keep bickering with her brother day after day, and spend her nights in the warmth of red silk curtains, close beside Yan Lang.
But she had no idea the world outside was on the verge of collapse.
In the sixth year of Chengping, the marquis-general who held sway over the northern frontier defied the emperor's order to reduce his fief. A million troops faced off across the Jin River, which divided north and south.
With battle moments away and the war drum about to fall, a crossbow bolt tore through the air. The clang of metal rang out across heaven and earth.
On the far side of the riverbank, a woman in red sat astride a imperial steed, bow in hand. Her beauty shone with all the splendor of heaven and earth.
Her clear voice rang out, brimming with fury:
"Su Shang'a, Yue Yan, are you two tired of living? Do you want to die?"
Su Shang'a was the emperor's personal name.
Yue Yan was the marquis-general's personal name.
No one in the world dared call them that.
Reader's guide:
1. A dramatic difference in size. Our princess isn't short, the marquis-general is just exceptionally tall and broad!
2. The princess can do anything, but she will never let herself suffer.
