Princess Changning, Xiao Yu, possessed extraordinary medical skills and saved countless lives, yet she was forced to marry a treacherous official and used as a pawn. After learning her lesson the hard way, she filed for divorce and secretly began seeing her beloved, a young general.
The young general had never removed his mask, said to be because he was "too ugly," but he was the one Xiao Yu wanted to spend her life with. All she had to do was wait for him to return from battle, then welcome him with ten miles of wedding finery.
But her imperial younger brother set a fire that burned her to ashes.
After her death, Xiao Yu became a lonely ghost among the roof brackets of the imperial city. When she heard that the young general had died on the battlefield, she was devastated. She also witnessed a traitor usurp the throne, leaving the long streets drenched in blood.
After the new emperor, Jing Heng, ascended the throne, his very first act... was to wipe the dust from Xiao Yu's memorial tablet with his own hands and posthumously make her empress?!
Reborn, she found the icy imperial city full of hidden currents and danger. The scumbag officials were repeating their old tricks, and her imperial brothers and sisters were scheming against her. She would never make the same mistakes again.
Xiao Yu did everything she could to change her fate, even pulling the future traitor Jing Heng onto her side.
After joining forces several times, the young marquis Jing Heng said, "Princess, this pirate ship isn't one you can board lightly."
Xiao Yu replied, "Come serve me at my residence tonight. If you please me, I'll take good care of you from now on."
Jing Heng laughed. "My life belongs to you, Princess, and yet you still think about that beloved young general?"
Xiao Yu answered solemnly, "The young marquis is a man of such brilliance and talent. How could anyone else compare?"
*
Rumor had it that the young marquis Jing Heng was useless at both literature and martial arts, holding a sinecure and enjoying a carefree life while flirting with women all day.
No one knew that he hid great ambition and wielded ruthless methods, with a tender thorn buried in his heart.
After his family fell into ruin, he put on a mask and went to war, becoming a general who held great power and stirred up the realm's affairs, all to give the woman he loved a lifetime of peace.
The moonlight was just right, and their kiss deepened. Suddenly, the young general burst with jealousy. "You're wearing a hairpin Marquis Jing gave you. Are you still thinking about him?"
Xiao Yu: I'll just watch you put on this act.
She removed the hairpin and put it away in her jewelry box. "The one I love is as pure as a breeze and bright as the moon, and he's right here before me. Why would I think about anyone else?"
*
Past life
Rain fell endlessly over the capital. The fire at the princess's residence burned without end.
Flowers blazed in profusion along the covered corridor, flourishing in full bloom.
Jing Heng used his black boot to turn Xiao Yiheng's face the right way. "What a pity for that radiant beauty to fall into your hands."
This life
A storm was brewing, and the world was turning upside down.
Princess Changning commanded power across the realm. Xiao Yu flourished her sword. "Xiao Yiheng, the realm is settled. It's time for the imperial seal to change hands."
"Changning, when you pointed your blade at your own siblings, did you ever consider how later generations would judge you?"
"The realm has been sullied, the people have suffered for far too long, and loyal, worthy officials cannot get through to you." Xiao Yu said with disappointment, "You're simply too useless."
*
After weathering countless storms, she became the sovereign who plotted and strategized from the imperial throne, and remained, too, the girl who had once braved the bitter winter cold to open an umbrella and come to him through the snow.
From then on, he would walk every stretch of that lonely, frigid mountain road at her side.
The ministers: Marquis Jing Heng follows His Majesty around every day. Could it be he wants to become... the empress?!
[Little Scene]
Young general: "Who are you going to be with?"
(Jing Heng swiftly switches roles.)
Young marquis: "Obviously, me."
Xiao Yu points to the washboard in the corner. "...Whoever kneels on that gets to be with me."
*One-on-one romance, happy ending. The male lead has been secretly in love for years and is top of the class in proper conduct.
*In this life, both leads are virgins. The heroine was married in her previous life.
*This is all made-up nonsense, with plenty of author-invented details. The political scheming is lightweight, just for fun~
*Romance and plot get equal focus.
*Updates follow the rankings~ Feel free to save it for later. If I abandon it, I'll turn into a puppy, so I won't abandon it (●^●)
