The year I left home for the capital, our country was in turmoil, with war breaking out everywhere.
That was also the year I met Qi Jun, the third prince.
We met in the army and fell in love amid the chaos. We weathered battlefields and the bloody struggle for the throne. He became emperor, and I commanded the troops.
He wanted me to be a gentle, virtuous empress. I put on my armor and went to the battlefield.
From then on, the emperor and empress grew apart, loving and fighting each other for more than a decade.
Note 1: Both the blurb and the story are told in first person.
Note 2: The male lead appears late, in Chapter 17, and leaves early, before the story even gets to that part. The romance ends in heartbreak.
Note 3: The story mainly follows the heroine's legendary growth, with less focus on romance, though romance is still present. So I couldn't put it under no-couple stories, and had to put it under romance.
