The Dashing Emperor’s Consort: A Jianghu in Chaos

Jiu Jianzhi, daughter of the widely renowned General's Mansion, is naturally beautiful, talented, and accomplished. Her seemingly ordinary path to power was thrown off course by a sudden tragedy: her father was murdered, her mother burned alive, and no one knew the hardships she endured on the road to a political marriage. For decades, she bore humiliation and hardship, studying day and night! When she returned, she offered the realm to her old flame, only for him to scorn her as defiled and subject her to the ten tortures. A shocking conspiracy came to light, and at last she awoke from years of being kept in the dark. A peerless heroine, she would plunge the realm into chaos! [Excerpt One] Peach blossoms stretched for miles. He raised his eyes. “Jianzhi, if one day I unite the realm, would you marry me and become my consort?” Sunlight glimmered like molten gold. She agreed. “Nan Feng, once you've pacified the four corners of the land, I'll marry you in robes of a thousand layers!” Sunlight once again poured over the city. He looked up. “In these troubled times, how can I promise you a marriage contract?” Again, the fragrance of blossoms filled the air. She stepped forward. “If I return, with the realm as my betrothal gift, would you marry me?” [Excerpt Two] Another spring arrived in all its glory. Dressed in red, she made a dazzling sight as she presented four tiger tallies. “Nan Feng, the realm is my betrothal gift. I'll marry you!” Once again, she looked stunning in red. Chu Nan Feng raised his wine cup to her. “Jiu Jianzhi, you're already defiled.” “Chu Nan Feng, let Heaven bear witness and Earth be my judge. Today, I cut ties with you!” “Jiu Jianzhi, do you truly mean to make an enemy of me?” On the desolate battlefield, he stood clad in silver armor, while she remained dazzling in red, mounted on a tall horse and looking down at him. [Excerpt Three: Lord Zhuang's Story] “Xiao Jiu, would you wait for me for a month?” Beneath the peach blossoms stretching for miles, he stood suspended in the air and made her a promise. “Xiao Jiu, I'll offer you eight hundred li of territory and a bridal procession stretching nine thousand li. I, Zhuang Lou Yan, will make you my wife.” Back in the Kingdom of Shangheng, the bell of Qingcheng Temple rang. He gazed at her profile and made his second promise. “Xiao Jiu, if you want to leave, you needn't make excuses. With all these layers of mountain gates, I'll open them for you myself.” She stood at the foot of the stairs, brimming with murderous intent, while he wore white robes that made him look breathtaking. He made his third promise. “Jiu Jianzhi, wait for my return.” “Zhuang Lou Yan, I'm tired of this dull life. Would you marry me?” She stood by the window, still drowsy, her eyes half closed as she watched him bent over his desk. A sweet, devoted romance between one man and one woman.
