[Blurb]
Ning Ruo, a princess of the Southern Liang, was willful and spoiled from childhood. Everyone kept their distance from her, and though she was born to wealth and privilege, her status plummeted when her brother rebelled.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. She had hoped to rein in her temper and live a quiet life, but a spring hunt unexpectedly brought to light long-hidden secrets of the imperial court.
Her mother was brutally killed, her maternal relatives seized power, and the court was thrown into turmoil. Currents of danger surged beneath the city of Chaohua, and Ning Ruo was caught up in the game.
With imperial power looming and riches blinding all who sought them, Ning Ruo had no choice but to carve out a path to survival with her own hands.
She thought she would walk the dark road in utter solitude. But one person was willing to shed his disguise and become the blade in her hand, cutting through the lonely night and walking by her side.
She had never known that Lu Yun, the great general who had ridden across countless battlefields, had given her his heart at first sight many years ago.
Beneath the ever-changing skies of Chaohua, danger lurked everywhere, and they would face life and death together.
[A Silly Little Scene, Feel Free to Skip]
On their wedding night, the breeze was warm and the candlelight flickered.
Lu Yun lifted Ning Ruo’s veil and shared the traditional wedding cup with her. Once all the formalities were complete, he picked her up and laid her on the bed. Just as he leaned down, he heard words he would never forget.
“Lu Yun, you’re only allowed to have me in this life. Otherwise, I’ll kill you along with all the others.”
Before, he would have thought Ning Ruo was merely saying that in anger. But she was no longer the innocent, willful little princess she had once been. She might really kill him.
Lu Yun sighed helplessly. He was the one who had fallen for her, after all. He tapped her on the nose and said with a smile, “Of course. You’re so worked up. How about I make you some cooling tea later, Princess?”
[Reading Guide]
1. The setting is fictional. Please don’t nitpick historical accuracy.
2. The story focuses on the heroine’s growth. It’s a slow burn, and the romance comes later.
3. No fighting between women for a man. Every woman deserves to shine.
4. There are tears and sweetness, gains and losses, and a happy ending, happy ending, happy ending!
5. The male lead is six years older than the female lead. Read with caution if that bothers you.
Theme: Our fate is in our own hands.
I don't even think it's okay. I'm really sorry. I hope everyone can give me some time to rationalize. I promise not to give up, and I am responsible to the readers and the characters.
Dear friends, please pay attention to protection. It's really uncomfortable when you have a goat. You have a high fever, aches all over your body, and you have a charming "smoky voice". If nothing unexpected happens, I will update. If nothing unexpected happens, I may have to take a leave of absence.
It looks like it's a story I'd love, so cheers, I'll read it together if I've saved up enough!

Hahahaha, when I read the text, I thought the male protagonist was a consort, but he called himself his son-in-law to the female protagonist, which almost fried the CPU.
Wipe it clean with your sleeve before handing it to Ning Ning
Collect it first, and read it slowly. I love the author who likes strong women and also likes to write articles.
