The Beauty Who Stuns the Capital

Jin Su is the foremost female official in Great Yu.

She entered the inner court at five and studied there diligently for six years. At eleven, she entered the palace.

From then on, she was Su Jingyao's shield, the blade in his hand, and his most capable little maid.

From murder and arson to the smallest palace affairs, she could handle anything Su Jingyao ordered her to do perfectly.

It took her seven years to rise from a junior maid in blue to the position of Chief Supervisor, earning Su Jingyao's deep trust.

Overseeing the Six Bureaus and Twenty-Four Offices, she became the female official who was The Outcast and stood above all others in the imperial capital.

Su Jingyao had a terrible temper, yet she was the only one who could keep it in check. The court officials were overcome with gratitude.

But no one could have imagined that this living bodhisattva would suddenly resign and return to her hometown!

The ministers were heartbroken and called in sick, keeping court from convening for a day.

Yet Su Jingyao was the last to hear the news...

Looking at the woman who had been by his side for seven years,

Su Jingyao pressed his lips together and asked, "Did the Empress Dowager force me to choose a consort, so you're jealous?"

Jin Su: "???"

Su Jingyao continued, "Or have you finally come around and decided to resign so you can marry me?"

Jin Su: "???"

Seeing the domineering, overbearing tyrant suddenly turn gentle and considerate,

Jin Su's heart skipped a beat. She decided to pack her things and make a quick getaway...

The emperor was so vexed by her that he had started babbling nonsense. If she didn't run now, when would she?

"Become the Crown Princess and Stand Up for the Crown Prince"

The imperial court and the great clans had contended for power for a hundred years, and imperial authority had gradually declined.

Among the great clans, the Jin of Danyang, the Lu of Jiangling, and the Gu of Linchuan stood at the forefront.

Jin Yue had spent eighteen years in the Jin clan of Danyang since being born into this world.

To win the great clans over, the emperor offered the position of Crown Princess in exchange for peace. Jin Yue signed up without hesitation.

Unlike her four exceptionally talented older brothers, Jin Yue had never been cut out for studying.

Fortunately, she came from a prestigious family and was doted on by her parents, so she simply grew up spoiled and willful. No one dared criticize her.

She was never going to be chosen for a marriage alliance between the great clans, nor would she be the one to bring glory to her ancestors.

Since that was the case, she might as well do as she pleased.

Jin Yue first met the Crown Prince, Xie, in the twentieth year of Cheng'an.

The Crown Prince had been ordered south to control the floods, but the Liu clan of Jiangnan blocked his way and tried to force him into submission. He was so enraged that he vomited blood on the spot.

Jin Yue turned around and saw a man as elegant as a jade tree, gentle and refined, looking so very pitiful.

She thought, "Why not bring him home?"

Not just in Jiangnan, but even in Jiangbei, she could make sure he had his way.

Everyone knew that Crown Prince Xie was frail and sickly, barely able to withstand a breeze, and the current emperor's only son.

But no one knew that the seemingly gentle and harmless Crown Prince secretly commanded the military power of a million soldiers in Great Zhao.

Jin Yue of the Jin clan of Danyang was arrogant, willful, and spoiled, and had never been the first choice for Crown Princess.

That was, until the day he saw her flip over the Liu clan's carriage in Jiangnan with one hand. She was fierce, and the sight was unforgettable.

Knowing she liked gentle, handsome young men who looked as if they needed protecting, he suddenly smiled.

He thought he knew just how to catch her eye!
