◆ A bold, beautiful, and no-nonsense female general × a handsome and powerful prince who keeps his feelings to himself
#When My Junior Disciple Revealed Himself to Be the Emperor# #After I Used Him and Left Him, the Man in My Bed That Night Was My One True Love?# #I Truly Didn't Want to Be Empress Back Then#
Chang Wan, the stunning daughter of the Grand General who Guards the Nation, grew up learning martial arts alongside her father.
Other young women practiced music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and dreamed of marrying well.
Chang Wan learned that swords had no eyes, and devoted herself to serving her sovereign and defending her country.
She had no respect for her new junior disciple. He wore a mask and acted all mysterious, putting on an air of gentle courtesy. Who was he trying to fool?
Her junior disciple had long wanted to complain about Senior Sister Chang Wan. All she knew was how to swing a sword, with not a trace of feminine grace. She would never find a husband.
Then came that unexpected encounter, one night of passion, like spring winds and rain falling on flowering trees.
Chang Wan couldn't even be bothered to look at his face when he took off his mask for the first time. She simply turned and left.
When her junior disciple proposed to her, Chang Wan rejected him without hesitation:
"You're not to blame. You and I have no affection for each other. Even if the man before me today were the Crown Prince himself, promising to make me empress one day, if I had no feelings for him, it would still be impossible."
No one knew that someone she could never forget lived in Chang Wan's heart.

The realm was pacified, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Chang Wan entered the palace to pay her respects, bearing her military achievements, but the emperor summoned her to his bedchamber alone.
A man of unsurpassed beauty emerged from behind layer upon layer of curtains and pearl beads.
And yet, somehow, he had the exact same face as the person she held dear in her heart?
The peerlessly beautiful man walked up to Chang Wan, a smile tugging at his lips as he asked:
"Senior Sister, would you be willing to become my empress?"
"...What?"

Shen Hua proposed to his senior sister three times in his life.
The first time, speaking to her after their moment of intimacy, Chang Wan told him: The world is wide. There's no need.
The second time, sitting with a cup of wine atop the towering city wall, Chang Wan told him: The country comes first. Personal feelings can wait.
The third time, at last blushing, she clumsily took his hand with the same hands that had only ever touched weapons. Chang Wan told him: Yes.
He was a prince high above all others, and he spent his whole life making Chang Wan his empress.
But he was her prisoner.
