The saga of an emperor, and the chronicles of two sovereigns.
The transmigrated eleventh prince, Jiang Mingchen, starts out in hell mode. His mother is caught up in palace intrigue, demoted three ranks, and loses the emperor's favor. He is poisoned until he is half dead, then sent out of the palace to recuperate. At only twelve, he leaves the capital in disgrace, only to be ambushed along the way by assassins determined to kill him.
The person who saves him is Luo Yunning, the young lady of Jiangling Sword Manor. The valiant young heroine picks him up from the ground, covered in dust, and says with a spirited smile, "Little Lame, who did you offend to make such a vicious enemy? Follow me from now on. This heroine will protect you."
The young heroine takes him back to the manor. Along the hundred-mile journey, she points to the starving people on both sides of the road and says to Jiang Mingchen, "Little Lame, look. The people have nothing to eat, while the officials are fat and happy. Our Great Yan dynasty enjoyed over two hundred years of peace and prosperity, but now the dog emperor is cruel and Heaven is unjust. There's no end to these miserable days. Even in broad daylight, you can't see the light."
"If Heaven will not be just, then we must prove the Way ourselves." As she stares in astonishment, the pale, handsome young man looks at the blowing sand and yellow earth outside and says earnestly, "Do you want to change all this? I do."
Luo Yunning stares at him in amazement, unable to understand how he can be so brazen, or why she inexplicably believes him. Yet for the decades that follow, she remains by his side, watching him quell unrest at home, repel enemies abroad, turn the tide, and restore the Yan dynasty to its former glory... until he becomes an emperor praised by all for the ages.
She becomes his empress, the wife for whom Emperor Zhao leaves the palace empty, and the trusted right hand he relies on throughout his life.
.
Jiang Fengqi, eldest princess of the Great Yan dynasty and Emperor Zhao's only daughter, is deeply loved by the emperor and empress. Bright from an early age, she is asked by her father at seven what her greatest regret is. She smiles and replies, "I regret not being born a man, and not being able to help Father and Mother with their burdens. This realm belongs to the Yan dynasty and to Father, but it will never belong to me. I understand."
Emperor Zhao gazes at her for a while and says, "If you are dissatisfied, then fight for what you want."
As his daughter looks at him in a daze, he asks, "Do you want to change all this?"
Jiang Fengqi looks at her father for a long time, then says solemnly, "I do."
For the decades that follow, she studies the arts of war and governance, the art of ruling, and the ways to govern and strengthen the country. From eldest princess to crown princess, she becomes the first empress in history, making countless historic achievements and earning a lasting reputation. History calls her reign a time when the sun and moon shone bright and the whole realm basked in their light.
