Reader advisory: Set in an imaginary dynasty. A devoted couple, some ensemble cast elements. The main couple will not break up or switch roles, with several side couples.
A cross-dressing, sweet-on-the-outside but ruthless prince as the bottom, and a single-minded, loyal-to-her-country female general as the top.
A story of a desert wolf cub and a palace fox.
“I thought that having my achievements overshadow the throne meant it would be difficult enough just to keep my family alive. Who could have guessed that the Prince of Yan would take me by force and imprison this swan in his inner residence? If he dares to touch me, I'll risk my life to take him down with me...”
On her wedding night, the bride's hands and feet were bound as she waited for the villain to lift her veil.
The groom didn't arrive until late at night. The veil was lifted, the candles went out, and Jiang Yanchuan held a knife to the groom's throat, only to discover that the groom was a woman.
“Ten miles of wedding finery aren't enough for my beloved wife. I'll give her the head of that treacherous rebel as her betrothal gift, and the whole empire as an adornment for my Zelan.”
“I will wield my blood as a blade and my bones as a knife. This chaotic world is hard to pacify, and treacherous sycophants hold sway. So I will plunge this absurd world into chaos, unafraid of the infamy. I, Gu Zelan, will bow neither to Heaven nor Earth in this life, nor fear ghosts or gods. All I ask is peace and prosperity for the world, and peace for its people.”
