1. Arrogant, unhinged heiress VS a jealous, lovestruck young general
2. He pursues her, secret crush, relentless persistence
Blurb:
Wen Hui was one of the capital's most celebrated talents, as refined as jade and blessed with a brilliant mind. Every movement of hers exuded noble grace, yet she spent her whole life trapped behind palace walls.
A gentle breeze lifted her hair. Dressed in blue, the woman stood in the snow, frost clinging to her curled lashes. Those who hated her could not bear to see her prosper, while those who loved her wanted her life.
She wasted away in the harem... Palace intrigue, scheming, and frame-ups had never managed to defeat her, but in the end, she was killed by the very person she loved.
After being reborn, Wen Hui unexpectedly discovered that she was inside a novel and was merely an insignificant supporting female character. Looking at the magnificent land before her, she smiled.
She would claim this realm for herself!

A man in black robes stood before her, a faint smile on his lips. Leaning against the door, Lin Yu gazed at her intently. "I never expected the eldest Miss Wen to have such ambition!"
Wen Hui lost herself for a moment as she looked at the young man before her, dressed in fine clothes and astride a fine horse. What a pity that with such a handsome face, he would end up dying on the frontier.
Seeing her distracted, Lin Yu leaned closer. "I'll help you seize the realm, but you have to promise me one thing~"
Wen Hui looked at the young man with some amusement. "What is it?"
"The realm is yours, but the empress's throne is mine!"
Wen Hui smiled. "I'll take what I want myself!"
*
On the throne above the court, the emperor wore a yellow dragon robe embroidered with golden claws. He lightly tapped the armrest and spoke softly: "You have won outstanding military merit. I am greatly pleased, and specially grant you the title of prince, with an estate of ten thousand households in recognition of your service. From this day forth, you shall be Prince Yu!"
Lin Yu knelt on the ground in armor, his back straight and blood still on his face. "Your servant accepts the decree!"
Only by defending Chang'an could he protect her, the one in Chang'an.
If enemy troops invaded, he would defend this magnificent realm.
[Daily declaration: My wife and I will definitely get married!]
*
A carriage moved slowly down an empty street. Countless arrows flew toward it. The young woman's slender, pale fingers caught an arrow flying straight at her, and she slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Wen Hui looked at the assassins blocking her path, a cold glint in her eyes. "If you want my life, come and take it. But let's see if you're capable of it."
Lin Yu stared at her, lost in thought. His expression didn't change, but inside he was screaming: [My wife is so cool!]
[Hey, when will my wife and I get married?]
Wen Hui turned and saw his lovestruck expression, looking at him with some distaste... There's no saving a man who's obsessed with love!
Lin Yu leaned against the carriage, his eyes softening. [She looked at me! She must love me. So when should we get married?]
