Green Jade Case

A fortune-teller told her she had few ties to family and friends and was destined to be alone. She believed it.

And reality proved her right. She lost everyone she cared about.

Even as she ascended the throne, she wondered: Was it like this for everyone who took this position?

Sadly, no one could answer her question.

What does it feel like to fall in love with your enemy?

Ying Yi despised himself. Even someone as vile as him, someone forced to live in the shadows, could fall in love with another person.

How ridiculous.

Death was nothing new to him. As the Chancellor's blade, he knew all too well how things would end for him.

But when death finally came, he suddenly wondered: Would she grieve for him?

In the year 253 of the Great Xia era, Li Jinrou was certain she had transmigrated. The base commander's words from before her death still rang in her ears.

She had never been particularly fond of power. But that was simply how this era worked: if you did not fight for it, you would be oppressed and killed.

So, for the sake of their last wishes, and for the sake of true peace,

she led everyone to the center of power:

the capital.

No one could know what the future would bring.

When the fortune-teller found her, she had named her Jinrou.

She said, "Jinrou, Jinrou: like the hibiscus, may you bring peace and kindness to all under heaven."

She said, "No one can predict the hardships that lie ahead."

She said, "Child, cherish everyone whose life has crossed paths with yours, all right?"
