A Blade at Her Skirt

A pampered princess who once knew nothing of ordinary people's hardships, but later comes to care for the world X a battle-hardened general known as the God of Death

[The Heroine's Story]

In her previous life, Princess Xie Yunjia died in the palace intrigues.

After her death, she possessed a handkerchief and witnessed her taciturn, lowborn husband, Lu Xuan, learn of her death and lead troops back to Shengjing. He personally killed her enemies and held a mighty army in his hands, yet had no desire to rebel. He still considered himself the Xie family's son-in-law, risking his life for the Xie family and fighting across the land, until he was ultimately killed by his political enemies' schemes.

He served his country and its people and won countless military honors, yet all he received was a burial on the battlefield.

Reborn, Xie Yunjia no longer wants to be caught up in pointless, sordid palace intrigues, nor can she bear to watch Lu Xuan die with no one to honor his loyal remains.

At first, all she wants is to save Lu Xuan and do what she can to protect the people in one corner of the realm.

Later, she brings the culture of the Central Plains to the frontier, transforming a barren land into a haven. She becomes the only goddess in the hearts of its poor, hard-pressed people.

[The Hero's Story]

Lu Xuan was born into a lowly station. He was a slave and a stable hand, suffering hunger and drinking blood. When he was on the verge of death, Yunjia saved him.

Later, he risked his life on the battlefield and won great military honors, finally earning Yunjia's hand in marriage.

The princess was noble, and the northern lands bitterly cold. Lu Xuan assumed Yunjia would never agree to follow him north.

But Lu Xuan didn't mind. He thought Yunjia was like the moon in the heavens, meant to live in flower-filled Shengjing, dressed in fine clothes and enjoying every luxury.

But Yunjia did not stay in Shengzhou. She followed him to the barren north.

The noblewomen of Shengjing all mocked her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

But Lu Xuan wouldn't let them have their way.

As Yunjia's skirts swayed, he knelt by her side with his blade in hand, protecting her dignity and honor for a lifetime.
