Ziwei Temple

Cui Yi left her country at fifteen. At nineteen, she arrived in Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Dynasty.

She understood early on that she had neither a country nor a home.

She had come only for the Ziwei Temple of her sect.

A princess of the Southern Kingdom, and also the chancellor of the Northern Dynasty. The history books begin anew.

*

Cui Yi was originally a princess of the Southern Dynasty. She came to the Ziwei Temple in the north to become a Daoist, then went on to assist the Northern Emperor. But she had no troops of her own and her position was unstable, so she chose Xin Tuo as her husband.

On their wedding night, she said, "We must be united as husband and wife and weather every storm together."

She had spent eighteen or nineteen years racking her brains just to survive. She had little interest in romance. Everything she had seen and experienced told her that marriage was about helping each other.

Who could have guessed that, after Xin Tuo said, "Of course," Cui Yi would catch him a moment later, when no one was around, giving an amused snort at an official's dog and saying that now he was married, someone would like him after all?

Cui Yi: ?

1. Sincere little princess x tsundere young general, happy ending.

2. The heroine defends the Crown Princess's legitimate right to inherit. The emperor she assists is a woman.

3. The story focuses on the heroine's fate, with a tragic yet fiery tone. This is not a typical marriage-before-love story.

4. The romance is genuine, but first wait for the heroine to grow up (40 chapters).

5. No character in the story is truly able to plan for every eventuality. Every contest of wits can only improve the odds of victory.

Theme: Become the stream of the world, never stray from constant virtue, and return to the state of a newborn child.
