After Securing Her Mother’s Divorce, the Discarded Marquis’s Daughter Turns the Imperial Capital Upside Down

My mother had fallen in battle, and before her body had even grown cold, my marquis father brought his illegitimate daughter into our home.

My father took over my room. "Caiwei was born frail. What's the harm in giving her your bedroom?"

My grandmother stewed my mother's warhorse to nourish Nan Caiwei. "You care more about an animal than a living person?"

My childhood sweetheart and fiance smashed the jade token that symbolized our betrothal for that white lotus. "You only hurt your leg, while Caiwei is heartbroken!"

"Give it up? Anything this young lady gives up, you'll have to take with your life!" At the martial arts exam arena, Nan Shengsheng shot three arrows and knocked Nan Caiwei's hairpin to the ground.

Then she exposed the callous faces of everyone in the marquis's household and cut her father's official robe in two right there in the street. "My mother won this title of marquis with her own hands. I can tear it apart just as easily!"

When the marquis's clan demanded that she sever ties with them and return to her ancestral family, the Third Prince, whose legs were crippled, kicked over his black-iron wheelchair and shielded her behind him.

From then on, the self-made female military strategist and the "Lame Prince" became the capital's most unhinged duo.

She disguised herself as a famous courtesan and blew up the black market; he pretended to be disabled and turned the gambling dens upside down.

When she smashed the plaque over the marquis's gate, he handed her a hammer. When he stormed the Golden Throne Hall to kill the emperor, she blocked the palace gates.

After the new dynasty was established, Song Yan knelt on one knee, clutching the tiger tally. "Being empress would be too much of a burden for you. How about becoming a female marshal who specializes in beating up corrupt emperors?"

Nan Shengsheng raised an eyebrow. "First, give back the three jars of pear blossom wine you tricked me out of when you pretended to be lame!"
