A Second Chance: She and Her Lady General Fell in Love

My lovely readers, I'm a beginner and not very good at writing. If you don't like something, feel free to offer suggestions, but please don't make it personal toward the author. I'm very sensitive, so thank you!

General Mu Zisu x Princess Song Xi

Mu Zisu's entire family is sentenced to death, but Princess Song Xi, who has been reborn, saves her. Mu Zisu becomes the blade Song Xi needs to claim the throne, while Song Xi helps Mu Zisu investigate the truth. They support each other and travel side by side, gradually falling in love and building a golden age together.

When Song Xi stages a coup to seize the throne, she holds a blade to the emperor's shoulder.

"Father, it's time to abdicate!"

"How dare you, you unfilial daughter! Since ancient times, how could a woman become emperor? Are you trying to defy Heaven? Aren't you afraid of being reviled by the people?"

"Men have occupied this throne. Why shouldn't women? If Heaven treats me unjustly, then I'll defy Heaven and become the greatest person in the realm. What's wrong with that? The people have never reviled women for becoming emperor. They revile the incapable, not the talented. I don't just intend to become the first empress. I'll establish schools for girls, let women serve as officials, and set a precedent by having an empress take an empress consort."

With one stroke, Song Xi severed all four of her father's limbs. "Guards, turn him into a human swine and drag him away. Keep him under strict guard. Tell the public that Father is gravely ill, and have the legitimate princess take charge of state affairs in his place."

Blood stained Song Xi from head to toe. Mu Zisu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face.

Later, when Song Xi was ascending the throne, the remnants of Prince Cheng's faction tried to assassinate her. To save Song Xi, Mu Zisu caught a blade with her bare left hand, then was stabbed through the left shoulder, buying Song Xi time to dodge. Song Xi swiftly and decisively slit the assassin's throat. The Imperial Guards also arrived in time to wipe out Prince Cheng's remaining followers.

Mu Zisu lay unconscious for two days, and Song Xi stayed by her side, caring for her without changing out of her clothes.

When Mu Zisu woke, the face she longed for was right in front of her. Her heart raced. Seeing that she was awake, Song Xi gave Mu Zisu a fierce kiss, and Mu Zisu's face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Don't be so foolish as to take a blade for me next time. This time it only pierced your shoulder, but what if it hits your heart next time? I don't want you getting hurt for me." Song Xi threw herself into Mu Zisu's arms.

Mu Zisu was already easily embarrassed, and now she was even more flustered. She couldn't even get her words out smoothly.

"It's all my... my fault. D-don't be angry anymore."

Hearing her speak, Song Xi immediately burst into laughter through her tears.
