Fu Qingze has loved a girl for a long time. She is the apple of everyone's eye in Mucheng, the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
But he watched the girl he loved go to the capital, marry into the imperial family, and become a wife. Thinking that this was simply how his life would be, he put away his affection for her.
Who could have guessed that years later, the woman he loved would win a divorce in the capital and return to Mucheng?
Leaving his post in the capital behind, Fu Qingze also returned to Mucheng, guarding the border alongside the woman he loved.
A battle for the throne set all of Jiang ablaze, and heroes rose across the land.
With Qin having lost its deer, all the realm joined the chase. Fu Qingze accompanied Jiang Qiyong from Mucheng back to the capital, step by step, watching the woman he loved go from a female general to a future empress.
Within the palace walls, he lowered his eyes and murmured, "Your Majesty now rules all under heaven. Will you be holding a grand selection to bring beauties from across the realm into the palace to serve you?"
Jiang Qiyong smiled and replied, "With Fu Qing in my heart, who in all the world could compare to you?"

I'm bad at writing blurbs, so I'm putting this up as a coming-soon story for now. I'll revise or add to it if I think of anything else.
