The Workaholic Empress Is Strong and Dashing

[One-on-one romance, sweet opposites-attract doting] [Decisive female general] × [Charming, eloquent, rich and handsome man] [Career-focused heroine] A true queen of overwork, Xie Huanxiu works her way from Protector General to female emperor of the Great Xuan. As a general, she spends ten years fighting on the frontier, reclaiming the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun for the Xiao Dynasty and destroying the Liao Kingdom, known as the “Wolf King of the Grasslands.” As a female emperor, she governs the seventy-two prefectures of Sanchuan with tireless diligence, spurring the court officials to compete with each other in overwork and pushing everyone from officials to commoners to strive harder, until the nation prospers and its people thrive. After retiring from the army, she is given in marriage by the emperor to the richest merchant in Yandu. Later, fed up with the emperor’s inept rule, she raises an army in rebellion and claims power for herself. With her delicate, helpless husband at her side, she wages war across the land, gradually claiming the Xiao Dynasty’s territory as her own before ascending the throne. [Romance version] On the day of their arranged marriage... Xie Huanxiu thinks: This delicate pretty boy won’t be able to handle me. A little over half a month into their marriage... Xie Huanxiu sits at her desk, holding her aching back as she studies how to run a business and manage a fortune large enough to rival a nation. She has gone from working herself to the bone in the military to doing the same in business. “Wen Boyi, get up and study!” He lounges in the courtyard, slacking off. “I’ve given my wife the treasury and shops to manage. I’ll take care of all her meals.” “Wen Boyi, the restaurant is losing money!” “With a business this big, just consider it practice for my wife.” “...” She strides through the halls of power, seizing authority and building her dominion, while he takes care of the logistics behind her, supporting her and helping her plan.
