[The Commoner Emperor's Rise to Power x The Young Lady Who Won't Turn Back Until She Hits a Wall]
He Qingyun was born into a powerful aristocratic family, noble from birth. She grew up cherished and doted on, and her mother and uncle carefully chose a husband for her. But the one she liked was Liu Wuling, a penniless commoner.
Liu Wuling. The male lead's surname is Liu: it sounds so low-class. If not for his decent courtesy name and handsome face, his life would have amounted to nothing. He was born to serve others.
The difference in their status was so great, and this was an era governed by aristocratic clans. Yet Liu Wuling really did win the beauty's heart in the end.
People around them said to Liu Wuling, "You must have had your ancestors' graves blessed with good fortune! A boorish soldier who can't even read can end up with such a beauty..."
In short: Who do you think you are? You don't deserve her!
People around them said to He Qingyun, "If not for the upheaval in her family, how could a noble young lady have fallen so low... What a pity..."
What they really meant was: A beautiful flower has landed in a pile of manure! Is this woman out of her mind?
What were they to do? It seemed hardly anyone supported the two of them.
The good news was, there was a way to dispel people's prejudices. The bad news was, that way was to abolish the aristocratic clans.
Chu, second year of Xiyuan: He Mi and Liu Kuang launch an uprising.
'One couple's lifetime, a war fought by many, the changing times at the end of Yu and the beginning of Qi, and the ultimate showdown between commoners and aristocratic clans.'
Reader's Guide:
1. One-on-one romance. Both leads are physically and emotionally devoted to each other from beginning to end: a deeply loving young couple in a chaotic era.
2. The dynasties are a historical mishmash. Don't overthink the history.
Theme: Born to humble means, strive without faltering
Qing Yun, this name sounds nice.
