I Fought on the Battlefield and Brought a Prince Home to Raise

The first woman in the dynasty to divorce her husband, its foremost female general, the first woman to inherit a family: Qiao Chu had a string of impressive titles, but she took it all in stride. Her own happiness mattered most. A certain prince said, “I'm the only one who can make her happy. I can fight on the battlefield, hold my own in society, and cook in the kitchen. I can be both sweet and wild.” The others weren't convinced, so he went on: “I can marry into her family. I even got an empire for free and handed it over to her.” Qiao Chu wasn't having it. “Being a king is too exhausting. In our family, men do the hard work, and women just enjoy themselves. That's what you said.”
