Scheming for the Realm: The Frail Prince Falls for Me

They say he was the least favored prince of the Eastern Cang Kingdom, frail of health and destined to die young.

They say she was the most beloved princess of the Western Li Kingdom, exceptionally talented and gifted.

He schemed and plotted for nothing less than dominion over a vast empire. She went to every length to escape the palace and ride free across the jianghu.

Everyone knew he adored her beyond reason, yet she had to watch him spend his wedding night with another woman.

She helped him seize the throne and conquer the realm, risking death again and again without complaint. He, in turn, led his army to conquer her country and made her take the blame for it all.

Years later, he finally achieved his ambition and ascended the throne, but she was no longer by his side.

In the sixth year of Tianqi, Consort Yuan burned herself to death in Qiwugong Palace. The emperor died that same year. The ruler who had united the realm and ushered in an age of peace had reigned for only six years. Meanwhile, a wandering swordsman who looked strikingly like the emperor appeared in the jianghu, searching everywhere for the woman in red.
