"Your Highness, Eldest Princess."
"So you're General Yan, the one who came back from Nanke with all those glorious victories?"
"Yes."
In her previous life, Huo Anlan schemed and plotted to put her own brother on the throne.
But after he was crowned, the first person he came to kill was Huo Anlan. She thought herself a fool, and saw no point in living any longer.
So she chose to sleep forever in Anhe Palace, where she had grown up. Perhaps Heaven took pity on her, because she was given a chance to live her life over again.
After what happened in her previous life, she understood that no matter what it was, the safest place for it was in her own hands.
So, under pressure from the Empress Dowager and the Chancellor, she used her schemes and cunning to make her way forward. Only she knew the hardship and darkness along the road. But sometimes she still felt lost. On that path with no visible future, a firefly appeared.
It stayed by her side, circling her again and again, unwilling to leave.
She said, "Go after what you want yourself. If you can't win it, then use me to fight for it, my princess."
