I Crossed Into a Chaotic Age to Marry a Fallen Princess

(This story will definitely be written!!!)

Xie Jia transmigrated into a time of chaos.

The old aristocratic clan, led by her father, had just lost its head. Everyone in the family was fighting for power. She was the legitimate daughter, but had no right to inherit the family headship. That position belonged to her younger brother.

Xie Jia sneered. In chaotic times, human life was cheap as grass, and a woman's life was worth even less. Without power or influence, death was the only way out.

So she acted swiftly and decisively, and became head of the family.

What should one do in chaotic times? Anyone who has studied history knows: build high walls, stockpile grain, and only claim kingship when the time is right.

Before long, the surrounding aristocratic clans began looking at Xie Jia with growing greed. They all thought that since she was a woman, she could be taken as a wife or concubine. Then the Xie family's territory would become her dowry, and they could swallow up the Xie family without lifting a finger.

In no time, the Xie family became the most coveted prize among the aristocratic clans, and everyone wanted to marry Xie Jia.

The family retainers argued fiercely. Some supported an alliance through marriage with another clan, while others wanted to recruit a military general as a live-in son-in-law.

One adviser made a stunning suggestion: "My lord, rather than marrying into another family, why not take a wife? I propose that you form a marriage alliance with Princess Yongtai!"

Princess Yongtai, Lu Shuanghua, was the beloved daughter of Emperor Ai of Xia and the most cherished princess among the officials of Great Xia. Sadly, she was born at the wrong time. At sixteen, she became a princess of a fallen kingdom. Now, supported by a group of former officials and a few loyal generals, she lived in a corner of the realm and had established a provisional court.

But the aristocratic clans refused to recognize it and watched it like hungry tigers, each wanting to swallow up the little court and declare themselves king.

Meanwhile, the ministers of the provisional court were urging Lu Shuanghua to recruit the most powerful aristocratic clan as her consort. Through a marriage alliance, she could bring the clan under her control, deter the others, unify the realm, and ascend the throne as emperor.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

The history books record: "In the first year of Zhenghe, Princess Yongtai took Xie Jia of the aristocratic Xie clan as her princess consort."
