Swallows Beneath the Veranda

[Strong Female Lead x Loyal Devoted Man]

Xie Ruizhu is the most beloved princess of Southern Qian. She should have lived a carefree life, but from the day she was ennobled, the enemy state of Northern Qi invaded. Southern Qian suffered one defeat after another, and the dream of a peaceful nation faded away.

For generations, the Wen family had run inns in Lin'an. All the sons in the family joined the army, leaving only Wen Xiao Liu, who had just one thought: better to live in disgrace than die with honor.

By a twist of fate, each of them adopted a swallow. That very night, they switched bodies!

Wen Xiao Liu: Living in the palace is great! I don't even want to switch back!

Xie Ruizhu: Xiao Liu is such an ugly name. From now on, you'll be called Wen An.

But how can anyone find peace in a time of chaos?

When Northern Qi captured Lin'an, Wen An impersonated the crown prince of Southern Qian and sought shelter under the King of Northern Qi, becoming a great general. His mission was to protect Xie Ruizhu, who had been forced to become the king's side consort.

"You're a traitor! You parade around using the title of Southern Qian's crown prince. How can you face me?"

"But we have to survive. Only if we survive can we find a way to get out of here."

Xie Ruizhu clenched her fists. Was escaping all she wanted?

She wanted to kill the King of Northern Qi, revive Southern Qian, and found a new dynasty. Those men were all useless. She would become empress herself!

Wen An: I've betrayed many people to stay alive, but I'm loyal only to you.
