The Barbarian Queen

“This is a story of pride and prejudice.” A Man grew up without her father’s affection or her mother’s love, and with a frail, exceptionally talented older half-sister. It was only when her own cousin, who was also her fiancé, took her half-sister by the hand and asked A Man to make way for their true love that she realized his mother had been cheating on her. So she resolved to lose weight, watch what she ate, and exercise. At last, she succeeded, gave her cousin and half-sister a taste of face-slapping, and rose step by step from a young woman on the frontier to empress.
