Huai Yan had three husbands in her life and served as chancellor for fifteen years.
She considered herself the last guardian of the Wei Dynasty, yet had to admit that it ultimately fell at her hands.
In the Wei Dynasty's three hundred years, she had never seen its most prosperous age, though she had once longed for it. Everywhere she looked, the land was in ruin and the people were in misery.
She raised an army to protect the realm of Wei, but the tide of events proved unstoppable, and she ultimately rose to the pinnacle of power.
Reading notes:
1. This is a wholly fictional setting. The author has complete freedom over its interpretation, and the story is very long.
2. The female lead has three formal marriages in total. Please do not force yourself to read on if you cannot accept this.
3. The female lead has very clear flaws; she is not perfect.
Theme: Life is about seizing opportunities, facing hardship without fear, and knowing that standing still means falling behind.
