Bright and flamboyant lay-flat female general vs. aloof, beautiful, clingy-in-love mechanical genius
Blurb:
In the ninth year of Chonghua, Chang Ningyue, daughter of the commander-in-chief of the southern frontier, was ordered by imperial decree to marry Wen Zhuqing, Marquis of Dingbei.
People said she was shameless and wanted to compete with the Crown Princess. She turned around and worked the virtuous and refined Crown Princess to the bone.
People mocked her for being nothing but a pretty face. Yet after a few drinks, she used her longsword to tease an assassin, leaving bloody marks on his neck so deep that only the white bone showed.
In the eleventh year of Chonghua, the northern frontier won a great victory. Before she could welcome her husband home in triumph, she was ensnared in a trap designed to draw her into the game.
The Empress sat high on her throne, her brows full of the arrogance of one in power. “Chang Ningyue, you're still so clever that people can't like you. The truth won't save you, but your naivety can destroy you.”
Chang Ningyue remained calm and unbowed, her almond-shaped eyes curving slightly. “You flatter me. But seeing that Your Majesty has made no progress at all these past years, I feel quite reassured.”
She took off her armor and donned the formal robes of a marquis's wife. The female general who had galloped at the head of the army in the southern frontier was buried, and in her place stood the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei, holding a compass that could measure people's hearts and caught in a web of political schemes.
Just as she was treating Chang'an as a chessboard and everyone in it as a pawn, sinking into idleness in this declining dynasty, the fake husband who had allied with her for their mutual benefit reached out and held her back.
“Your Lordship had a princess he could have married. Why marry me, when it was obvious I was sent here as a hostage?”
“I once promised someone that she would never see another war in her life, and that she would witness the flourishing age of Hua.” Wen Zhuqing's bright phoenix eyes brushed over the contours of her face like feathers. “I have my own reasons. It's for a nation, and also for one person.”
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only partners, 1v1.
2. The setting is fictional, so please don't overthink it.
3. Wishing everyone a happy, positive life! (Chang Ningyue: Are you calling me out???)
4. I'm a new author, so please be kind (holding out a bowl, please bookmark!). I'll gently squeeze the soft pink paw pads of every little tiger who visits. They're really soft!
5. I'll do my best to update! For now, updates may be every other weekday, and daily or every other day on weekends, depending on how busy work is.
(I take suggestions, and will do my best to accommodate requests!)
Coming soon: The Whole World Is Urging This Princess to Reconcile with Her Former Fiance (Both Reborn)
Blurb:
In the eleventh year of Yong'an, the eastern sea defenses fell.
The door to the Dongyi dungeon opened, and someone gripped Chu Nanmo's chin hard. “You survived the poison taking effect again. You're a monster.”
“Heh. You lost to me.”
A Dongyi man clamped a hand around Chu Nanmo's throat. “That crafty Daoist captured our prince to trade for you. You're a perfect test subject for poison. You can't be allowed to return alive.”
The poison rampaged through Chu Nanmo's body. She raised her chin slightly, defiant and taunting. “Don't worry. Even if I die, I'll drag your prince down with me.”
In the ninth year of Yong'an, she was reborn. She was still the highborn princess she had been, but this time she had another identity: the master of the Thousand Birds Pavilion. She plotted at every turn and showed no mercy with her sword, all to prevent the war in the eastern sea two years later.
Holding her sword in one hand, she lifted Qin Zheng's chin over the table. “Lord Qin, do you know that embezzling military funds can get you exiled along with your household at best, and have your entire family executed at worst?”
The fat beneath Qin Zheng's chin pressed against the blade. He shrank back and shouted angrily, “Chu Nanmo! I'm your uncle-in-law!”
Chu Nanmo's almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, filled with bottomless chill. “Who says otherwise?”
Everyone said Chu Nanmo had changed, becoming bloodthirsty and merciless. Just when everyone was avoiding her, her former fiance came looking for her.
“Daoist Song, what brings you to the Duke of Zhenguo's residence?”
The wind passed through the branches, shaking loose pear blossoms. She saw Song Qingyan's thin lips part, his long-missed tenderness among the blossoms, conspicuous and unreserved, just like when they first met...
Theme: For a general, the nation comes first and the people matter most.
Pre-order next door, welcome to collect~ "The whole world is trying to persuade this princess to reconcile with her ex-fiance (Double Life)" Copywriting: In the eleventh year of Yong'an, the East China Sea defense line was broken. The door of Dongyi's dungeon was opened, and Chu Nanmo's chin was pinched hard, "He survived the poisonous hair again, what a monster." "Oh, my general is defeated." The Dongyi man suddenly locked Chu Nanmo's throat, "The cunning Taoist priest captured our prince in exchange for you. You are the best drug to be tested, and you cannot go back alive." The poison was rampant in Chu Nanmo's body. She raised her chin slightly and said defiantly, "Don't worry, even if I die, I will have to drag your prince to be buried with me." In the ninth year of Yong'an, she was reborn. At this time, she was still the aloof princess, but this time she had an additional identity, the master of the Thousand Birds Pavilion. She prepared every step and was ruthless with her sword, just to prevent the East China Sea War in two years. She held the sword in one hand and raised Qin Zheng's chin across the table, "Master Qin, do you know that if you embezzle military pay, you will be confiscated from the palace and exiled, and at worst, the whole family will be executed." The fat on Qin Zheng's chin pressed against the sword, and he shrank and roared, "Chu Nanmo! I am your uncle!" Chu Nanmo's almond-shaped eyes were slightly curved, and there was a bottomless chill in them, "Who says it's not the case?" Everyone knew that Chu Nanmo had changed his character and became bloodthirsty and ruthless. Just when everyone failed to avoid her, her ex-fiancé followed her. "Taoist Master Song is visiting the Duke's Mansion in our town. Do you have important matters?" The wind blows through the branches, shaking off the pear blossom petals. She saw Song Qingyan's thin lips slightly parted, and the long-lost tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes was like a sky full of petals, arrogant and straightforward, just like when they first met...
The sense of sight of a hero among women
Couple costume~Absolutely, although I have no proof
I am different from what everyone thinks. I hope that the Marquis will be the Marquis and the senior brother will be the senior brother. It is best to have a handsome bodyguard and a gentle lover... (Gradually metamorphosis)
The old emperor was fatuous, King Yin was powerful, and the prince was still incompetent. The Chang family took off their armor and returned to their fields, no longer defending it!
Looking forward to Gugu's update ~ Come on Gugu
How many w words does the author plan to write?
