There's a rumor in the Great Yan Dynasty: If you offend the Empress, it's no big deal. But if you offend the Regent, heh heh! Have you heard of Great Yan's "wind, flowers, snow, and moon"?
In short:
If you offend Hua Lingyue, you're done for!
1. In a dim room, blood is splattered all around. Hua Lingyue stands among it, her hairdo slightly disheveled. The moment Xie Lingfeng arrives with his troops, she rushes over and cries, "Brother, this rotten old man bullied me. I was so scared."
Tingqin: "That bastard of a Chancellor! So what if he's dead? My young lady is delicate and weak. Why would you scare her like that?"
Everyone: "...Did you say that wrong, or did we see that wrong?"
The Chancellor, who's been dead for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea: "Heh. Like I'd believe you."
2. The Emperor dies, and the eldest prince, unhappy with his father's decision, raises an army in rebellion.
Hua Lingyue holds a long sword and shields the heir to the throne behind her, looking utterly panicked (we have no idea if she really is): "Yan Youbing, don't come any closer! I'm scared. Swords don't have eyes, you know."
A moment later, Yan Youbing closes his eyes as he sees his head three meters away from his body.
3. "My dear little sister, what should I do if someone bullies me?"
When Hua Lingyue suddenly complains, everyone is outraged and vows to avenge her.
Hua Lingyue raises a delicate finger. "There, it's him. He bullies me every night!"
Everyone looks up and meets Xie Lingfeng's innocent gaze.
Xin Hao: "..."
Song Lanyue: "..."
Nalan Xue: "..."
Yan Youyi: "..."
A couple flirting with each other counts as bullying???
This is a silly, sweet story about a delicate, frail, airheaded young lady
and a young general who's dead, but not entirely dead,
who wreak havoc in the imperial court with their human medicine bottle, walking wallet, and intelligence network.
Xie Lingfeng, the young general who should have died × Hua Lingyue, the illustrious Regent
