The Empress of a Chaotic Era Roams Free

[A devoted one-on-one romance, with no scheming or infighting. Come give it a try!]

[There’s angst, but the leads are pure in body and heart. Once the angst is over, the romance is almost sickeningly sweet.]

One fire set by the great general who guarded the nation brought the Mu dynasty’s thousand-year reign to an end.

Eight-year-old Princess Mu Yige hid in panic inside the palace hall as flames swept through it, realizing that this was where the course of her life would change.

She watched him build his grand towers, watched him entertain his guests, watched his towers come crashing down. Yet this was the dynasty the Mu family had guarded for a thousand years. How could she stand by while it fell into the hands of a treacherous usurper?

But this young man, gentle as the night amid the flames, told her, “I’ll keep you safe and carefree.”

To help her escape her pursuers, he sent her away to learn martial arts. “Ten years from now, I’ll give you a kingdom of your own.”

He said, “Think of me.”

“Could the Pavilion Master find the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus of the Western Regions and save my beloved’s life?”

Years later, when they met again, he came to her mountain villa with another woman, asking for medicine in such an unfamiliar tone.

She believed it was only a temporary arrangement. When their ten-year promise came due, she waited for him all night through the driving snow, only to learn the next day that he had married the night before.

He said, “Yige, this world is not ours to command.”

If that was so, then what did it matter if she defied the world, or turned it upside down?

Those who wronged her would pay in blood. Those who deceived her would pay in flesh and bone!
