Xiao Heguang was once a carefree shepherd girl on the grasslands. Who would have thought that a single imperial decree would shatter her peaceful life?
Even after marrying a princess and completing the wedding ceremony, Xiao Heguang still could not understand how she had become the second prince of the Qi Kingdom.
Oh, and she was a convenient pawn, sent off to the Tang Kingdom for a political marriage as soon as she was recognized and brought back.
On their wedding night, Xiao Heguang tentatively said, "Your Highness, actually, I'm not very capable in that department."
Li Jingyi had heard that the Qi Kingdom's second prince had grown up in the countryside and had a face full of fat. She was deeply resistant to the match.
But when she entered the bridal chamber, she could only exclaim that the rumors had misled her.
This dark-skinned young man, with his delicate skin, was unexpectedly beautiful!
Until the other party said she was no good in that department...
Well, if she wasn't, then she wasn't. It was still much better than marrying a burly, rough man with a full beard.

Later, the supposedly impotent consort won one battle after another, while the princess kept her lamps burning night after night.
Gossiping insider: So what if the consort is good at riding and archery? They say she's no good in that department.
Li Jingyi, with an aching back: Utter nonsense!

The dynasties after the Tang are fictional. This is, in fact, the story of a married couple who end a divided and chaotic era, then rebuild a unified dynasty founded on ethnic integration and gender equality.
