The whole city of Chang'an was abuzz with rumors.
The year she came of age, the Chancellor's son fell in love with Princess Jiang Wan at first sight and wanted to marry her. The very next day, he was beaten so badly he was left half-paralyzed.
During the Winter Solstice parade, she went in and out of the entertainment quarter. When a censor protested, she tore into him before the court and got him suspended for five days.
Everyone believed she was the Emperor's precious jewel, and that no matter how outrageous she was or how much she toyed with the powerful, he couldn't bring himself to punish her.
But only she knew that once her father died, her half-brother, who hated her to the core, would send her to the Northern Desert to marry an old man who was on the verge of death.
As the old Emperor's life drew to a close, Jiang Wan turned her attention to Fu Yanci, the only surviving heir of the Fu clan of Taiyuan and a general.
At first, after meeting the notorious princess, he thought her coy, silken gaze belonged to a bewitching enchantress who would bring ruin to the nation.
Later, he still thought she was an enchantress. He just didn't realize that, before long, he had fallen under her spell.
In the fifth year of the Great Wei dynasty, Jiang Wan married into the Northern Desert.
As the envoy escorting her, Fu Yanci watched the woman enter the royal tent in a red wedding gown. His eyes turned bloodred, and he wiped out the Northern Desert in one fell swoop.
