Two strong leads | Older woman and younger man | Lovers who fight each other as much as they love each other | Tension and push-and-pull | Ensemble cast | Nation-building

A universally adored heroine, a clear-eyed, practical idealist who works to build a better world & a feudal warlord hero, a cautious, self-disciplined political creature who doesn't realize he is in love

Year Three of Tianyou, winter. Heavy snow seals the mountain passes.

This was the first time Pei Ji met Li Fuyao.

At the time, he had no idea she would turn his world upside down.

The land was in turmoil, with warlords rising on every side.

The Pei family had long held sway over the coastal region. As the legitimate grandson of a military governor, Pei Ji was not yet twenty, but already patrolling the frontier on his grandfather's behalf, surrounded by weapons and warhorses, his heart set on a vast realm.

But before he could succeed in his campaign, he was gravely wounded and fell unconscious.

Half in a dream, he saw a woman with her sash fluttering in the wind, standing alone as she approached gracefully from behind Nuwa.

But when she opened her mouth, not a single word she said was true.

He gazed at her slender, pale neck and took her back with him.

In that chaotic age, when storms darkened the world,

he sharpened his blades, trained his hawks and hounds, gathered military power, and established order.

She reclaimed wasteland, managed finances, educated the people, and brought peace to the common folk.

She accompanied him as he conquered cities abroad and mended the hearts of his people at home. Over the years, refugees rallied to them, their granaries overflowed, and they no longer needed to rely on outside forces to defend their borders. They occupied strategic terrain and set the course for the realm.

In Pei Ji's eyes, Li Fuyao understood the bigger picture and knew when to advance and retreat. She was usually thoughtful and considerate, and occasionally gentle and sweet.

Even though she had a strange temper and a sharp tongue, she had an appealing wildness to her.

He was very pleased with her.

He thought she, like the whole world, was already in the palm of his hand.

Until one day

All victories and defeats were suddenly empty.

It turned out that what he thought he held in his palm had long since become a different world.

She transmigrates into a chaotic age of bandits and soldiers, where the two are one and children are traded and eaten.

Li Fuyao, who grew up beneath the red flag, has never seen anything like it.

To survive, she saves a man and tells a lie.

With courage and care, she finally finds a place to shelter.

She looks with satisfaction at her own “paradise,”

then meets a pair of numb eyes after another.

Suddenly, she feels that this is far from enough.

Years later,

the territories he conquered are guarded by her people; the prefectures and counties he brought to heel are governed by her people.

The wheels of history roll on, and the flood of fate cannot be stopped.

Her answer is to move forward.

Reading Guide:

1. Updates every other day in accordance with the rankings. The full outline and major plot points are in place. I type slowly, but I won't abandon the story.

2. Set in an alternate Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era, with invented details and historical elements blended together. Please don't nitpick the history.

3. The male lead has had no other partners. The heroine was twenty-two or twenty-three when she transmigrated, so I haven't decided on a specific pairing for now. Make up your own mind?

Upcoming story in my collection~ A powerful heroine just like Li Fuyao, a true young tyrant

She Came from the Prosperous Tang

Ancient fantasy adventure | Trials | Mythology | Folk customs | Legends | Deconstruction

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Yue Xiao, former deputy director of the Directorate of Astronomy, dies suddenly. Thirteen-year-old Yue Heng is brought back to the ancestral home by her birth father.

She leaves her mother's protection and steps out of an ivory tower into a den of man-eaters.

On the first day, in the ancestral hall, she refuses to heed the elders' teachings and abuse, so they lock her in a woodshed.

Bored out of her mind, she clutches the keepsake left behind by her mother.

Then she is swept into a vast, empty chaos.

It is 716 CE, eleven years after Wu Zetian abdicated, six years after Shangguan Wan'er was killed, and four years after Princess Taiping's downfall.

She sees a new world that existed in her mother's stories, but that she herself has never seen.

P.S.

1. The heroine's mother is an engineer who transmigrated.

2. Heng is the heroine's childhood name. She has a proper name, which will be revealed when the story begins.
