To Be Emperor [Wuxia Crossover]

On some day in some month of some year, Zhao Zhen counted up her family's great achievements.

Her birth mother had switched her with a cat at birth, her younger sister's newly recruited husband was named Chen Shimei, and she had disguised herself as a man and taken the throne under the name of her late elder brother.

Zhao Zhen silently glanced at a certain Bao Hei Tan and his dragon-headed executioner's blade.

She had a nagging feeling that her head was getting cold.

There was no way she was going to accept her fate. Since she couldn't change her gender, she would make the whole world grovel at her feet.

Ye Gucheng met a peerlessly beautiful woman in Jiangnan, with a sweet voice and a charming, delicate manner that made anyone feel protective of her.

The two spent several months together, inseparable by day and sharing a bed by night.

But just as their feelings reached their peak, the beauty mysteriously disappeared.

Ye Gucheng searched for her in vain for years.

When they met again, it was in the imperial study inside the palace.

The Prince of Nan was forcing his way into the palace, and Ye Gucheng drew his sword to face him.

The emperor, whose face was identical to the beauty's, sat high on the dragon throne and raised an eyebrow with a smile. "You are a fine lady. Why have you joined the rebels?"
