The domineering Han King vs. the mild-mannered strategist
A story of sovereign and minister working together to conquer the world.
This is a fictional historical setting, with nine states vying for supremacy and fictional characters.
In this story, women can serve as officials, rule as kings or monarchs, and become generals or ministers. Women can marry women. There is no woman disguising herself as a man. No woman disguising herself as a man. No woman disguising herself as a man!
Blurb:
Seven years ago, the lords ruled as they pleased and the realm was in chaos. Of the nine states, Han was the strongest, but its king was isolated and weak, and its young ruler's position was uncertain.
The young Han King wanted to make the Grand Preceptor's daughter, Gui, her queen. But the Chancellor, who held all the power, obstructed her at every turn. The entire Gui family was massacred, not a single one spared!
The young Han King lost everything in that struggle.
Seven years later, the Han King's power has grown. She is no longer the naive and frail young ruler she once was, nor the innocent, carefree girl of the past. She has become ruthless, defiant, and decisive. After lying low for seven years, she swears to avenge her humiliation.
Just then, a strategist in white arrives from afar. With every step carefully planned, she makes her way into the Han court and stands before the Han King, hoping to help her sweep across the nine states and unite the realm.
The strategist's white robes flutter like a startled swan, and her beauty is beyond compare. Every frown, smile, and gesture is just like a certain old friend who should have died seven years ago, stirring the heart the Han King had frozen for all these years...
Li Renchen: Your Majesty, have you ever loved someone?
Liu Shu: More than loved.
Li Renchen: What happened?
Liu Shu: When I was young, I would have done anything to bring her to my side. Only when I grew up did I understand that if I truly loved her, then... I would rather she had never met me.
After saying this, the Han King gazed up at the sky and fell silent for a long time. She did not know that the strategist behind her had already begun to weep.
Li Renchen: Perhaps that person has never regretted meeting Your Majesty.
One-line summary: The road ahead is long and winding. May we meet at the summit and build a peaceful age together.
Before you read:
This novel is divided into four volumes: The Years of Youth (Revenge Arc), An Age of Great Rivalry (Journey Arc), The King's Burden (War for Supremacy Arc), and All Under Heaven United (Unification Arc). It will be published in three books.
There isn't much romance in this novel, not much, not much, but there is some. Please bear with me, dear readers (doge, save me).
P.S. Both heroines are devoted to each other in a one-on-one relationship. They begin as sovereign and minister, and later become empress and empress consort.
P.P.S. The full novel is already written. Please look forward to it.
(The blurb was first written in early summer 2019; revised for the third-to-last time in April 2022, the second-to-last time in May 2024, and the last time in August 2024.)

When reading this novel, many dynasties flashed before my eyes. For example, Shunzhi and Dorgon were both young ministers; for example, Qin II and Zhao Gao were also eunuchs in power; for example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Chen pretended to be crazy and a fool for more than 30 years, and finally ascended the throne to create a prosperous age. Of course, there are also many glimpses of people in history who only shined for a short time and then disappeared in the long river of history for one reason or another. The beginning of the novel is not uncommon in history. It is a messy fantasy drama that actually lacks scientific knowledge, and it is destined that someone will ascend to the throne, such as the red light filling the sky when Fulin was born. The self-restraint and propriety of powerful officials is a bit interesting, because when most historical figures are in power, it is still difficult to be humble and polite. This is a common phenomenon in modern anti-corruption TV dramas. The heroine's growth experience is very similar to the philosophical debates among various schools of thought during the Warring States Period. Through the baptism and debate of different viewpoints, her knowledge is broadened and diverse. I have been thinking that if I traveled back in time to ancient times, this would be the scene I would most want to experience. The heroine came to the throne at a young age and surrendered under the pressure of powerful officials in her early years. This is probably a process that every young emperor must go through. The whole novel is like an appetizer. As soon as the taste buds are opened, it is announced that the chef is still cooking the main course. Please be patient and wait and see.
I've finished reading it, and I urgently need the next article, to encourage farming 😚
Looking forward to the second volume? ('ω')? Congratulations to my wife for her writing skills and rich historical knowledge
