The Princess Bride

Yan Qing, a top-ranked spy and the most capable blade in the commandery princess's service, repays a debt of gratitude by taking the princess's place in a political marriage to the eldest princess of the barbarian frontier.

The eldest princess is gentle, virtuous, and kindhearted. Unfortunately, she is disabled and spends her days in a wheelchair.

Yan Qing is deeply worried. With high status, a disability, and a gentle nature that lacks guile, the eldest princess seems destined to become a victim of this turbulent age.

But Yan Qing soon realizes she was wrong.

High status: The eldest princess actually has no troops or power. She has nothing but the title of princess, while the snare is hidden in the shadows.

Disability: The eldest princess can walk, and can even leap onto rooftops.

Gentleness: The eldest princess can gently execute a spy, softly parting her lips to say, “Chop her up.”

This woman, so divided within herself, is capable of overturning a dynasty. Then, one day, she asks Yan Qing, “I will paint a picture with this realm. Would you step into it?”
