[The female chancellor who would prove her convictions with her life and save the world × the gentle-faced, ruthless-hearted, lovesick emperor]
When Wei Yu was five, the villagers planned to throw a young girl into the river as a sacrifice to the River God. Wei Yu escaped with her friend.
When she was five, she met the crown prince and received a new name: Yuzhi, meaning to surpass prejudice and become a person of great virtue.
At seventeen, Wei Yuzhi attended a court council for the first time. Everyone said she had climbed the ladder through a powerful man and that a woman was usurping a man's place.
At nineteen, she returned to her hometown, became a pioneer, and broke through a century of ignorance.
At twenty-three, she turned from civil service to military affairs. The moment she took command of an army, she defeated a hundred thousand enemy troops.
At twenty-nine, she brought the world to heel with her sword and destroyed the enemy nation. From then on, there were no more steps for her to climb in the palace.
People are always saying that women are born to be caged birds, unable to soar into the heavens.
Wei Yuzhi refused to believe in those old adages. She was determined to make her own worth unmistakable. With every step she took, she advanced new laws through her work at the desk and earned military honors on the battlefield. Wherever she stood became a place where the people's hearts could be set anew.
Zhou Chongyan lost his mother at eight. His father, the emperor, was cold and unfeeling. He knew that in the treacherous palace, he would have to wield schemes as a sword and coldness as a shield.
Humble in appearance, formidable at heart. He built high walls within himself, presenting a gentle face while secretly honing his claws.
Yet it was also at eight that he acquired his one and only weakness.
He used the pretense of being siblings to draw a line around them and confine himself. It was easiest to deceive himself.
It was not until the world fell apart and she was gone, leaving empty rooms behind, that he finally realized he could no longer keep lying to himself.
So he gave everything to help her fulfill her ambitions.
When she wanted to go to war, he cleared her path; when she wanted to reform the laws, he swept away the obstacles at court. He laid before her the finest things in the world, paving what he thought was an easy road.
But Zhou Chongyan forgot that she had never been a bird in a gilded cage. She was an eagle soaring through the open sky.
Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are each other's only ones.
2. Set in an imaginary historical world. Please don't nitpick the history.
3. Neither lead is perfect, and both will grow later in the story.
4. The main plot follows the heroine challenging society's beliefs and advancing gender equality, so there is less focus on the romance.
5. The heroine does not become empress in the end.
6. Bad ending, bad ending, bad ending. Important things must be said three times.
Theme: Break free from a fate written for you, and rewrite history with your sword as your pen.
I want to revise the previous article, what do you think?
"The wild wolf has gone fishing." "Caught a big bug for the author~ hold in mouth
"It has been deeply engraved in Wei Yu's heart." This is a big bug for the author ~ "It's here"
The plot has been developing so fast recently, so cool!
The writing is quite good, but can there be a stable update time? [Spread flowers]
To regain the real power of the Li family and help the heroine become a general? It is estimated that it will be a great boost to the adult female players in the future~🤩
I made a portrait of the protagonists. I drew it myself. Sorry for my poor painting skills.
These subtle changes will make the character more vivid~ Madam, you don't need to worry too much~
Putting a dent in the heroine's wisdom 🧋
There is a ray of hope 😭, but it is still very difficult to say that no matter what position a woman holds, she has to add the word "female" in front of the position for emphasis. Hopefully one day it won't be necessary anymore.
