The people of the Great Wei never imagined that Princess Chang Zhao, who usually seemed so delicate and gentle, would dare to gouge out a living person's heart with her bare hands. The incident shocked the entire court.

After the princess took the offensive, she rode alone to the border, guarded the city, and rescued the gravely wounded general who had fought to protect their homeland. None of it was beyond her.

Hu Yang: "Have you ever seen the sea? Do you want to go?"

Wu Qiao: "I haven't. I want to!"

Hu Yang: "Then do you know what you need to bring to row a boat on the sea?"

Wu Qiao: "I know! You need oars to row a boat."

Upcoming historical romance, Everyone in the Capital Is Waiting for Me to Get Married: They All Think I'm a Menace

In her previous life, Qin Huansha stood in for her legitimate elder sister and married a man who was no good. Her husband despised her as a replacement, her mother-in-law tormented her, and even the concubines ostracized her. Qin Huansha died full of resentment.

Given a fresh start in this life, she found herself at marriageable age. Qin Huansha fled her wedding in the middle of the night, earning the scorn of the noble young ladies of the capital and ruining her reputation for a time.

Before long, however, the scoundrel's true nature was exposed. The young ladies changed their tune, all agreeing that the Qin girl had been right to run away. Her reputation recovered, and Qin Huansha was able to return to the capital.

Not wanting a menace under their roof, the Qin family quickly arranged another marriage for Qin Huansha. With her about to fall into the clutches of yet another scoundrel, she promptly ran away again.

Once again, the facts proved her right. Her two wedding-day escapes caused an uproar over marriage in the capital. The noble young ladies all held back, waiting for Miss Qin to marry and find out which man, if any, was not a scoundrel!

For a time, young gentlemen from every family in the capital started flocking to the Qin residence to have their fortunes read. Qin Huansha made perfect use of her reborn golden finger, and her assessments were all fair and accurate: Could this one be married? Should that one wait a little longer? In this way, she brought together many couples, and her matchmaking career flourished.

That is, until the great general guarding the border came to see her, having heard of her reputation. He, too, wanted his marriage fortune told.

Shen Minghuai: "Please assess me, Miss Qin. Am I the right man for you?"

He sat there looking like a cold-faced god of death. Under the table, Qin Huansha's legs were shaking with fear. She hesitated. The problem with this man wasn't whether he was a scoundrel. He had no feelings at all, and in the future he would rebel! Once he ascended the throne, would she be in danger now, or in danger later?

When she remained silent for a long time, General Shen gave a cold snort. "Are you going to marry me or not, hm?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Qin Huansha shoved the table so hard in her fury that she nearly sent it flying into his face.

After successfully proposing, the man rubbed his nose and smiled as if nothing could disturb his calm. He placed a nine-dragon jade pendant in Qin Huansha's hand. "Keep it safe. It's a token of our love."

"???" So much for having no feelings! And what token? Qin Huansha clutched the pendant, with its nine jade dragons coiled around it, as if it were a hot potato. This damn thing was a royal token!

When he was young, Shen Minghuai had been separated from his family and had received kindness from a little girl. He swore he would repay her for the rest of his life.

But in his previous life, he had failed to protect her. He fought his way through a sea of blood and forced open the city gates, but he was still too late. In the end, his beloved died in his arms.

Given another chance, he decided to seize the initiative. He could worry about whether or not to become emperor later. First he had to bring his beloved home, so he could finally feel at ease.

[I may not like this world, but I still want another chance to make a place for you beneath the sky.]
