[Strong male lead vs. strong female lead, retired powerhouse heroine vs. hero who defends his country]
After retiring from countless missions, Gu Qingge opens her eyes to find that she has become the youngest legitimate daughter of the only prince with a different surname in the Great Chu Dynasty. Her father dotes on her, her mother loves her, and she has three older brothers who spoil their little sister. From the moment she is born, the Empress Dowager declares her Great Chu's lucky star and grants her the title of commandery princess.
Quite content with her retirement, she inadvertently discovers that she is a supporting character in a mission-world story. The male lead schemes and struggles his way to the throne, then lives happily ever after with the female lead.
And she is nothing more than one of his romantic interests, a stepping stone to help him seize power.
Gu Qingge: ...
It is said that Commandery Princess Qingge of the Great Chu Dynasty is an arrogant, cruel tyrant whom everyone fears and avoids.
But when the Great Chu is attacked by other nations, this tyrant takes off her finery, puts on armor, and leaps onto her horse.
She charges across battlefields, expands the borders, and defends her country.
When the queen is enraged, corpses stretch for miles.
Only then does everyone realize that, at some point, the tyrant has become a celebrated hero and great general!!!!
Even more astonishing, the tyrant has quietly brought the immortal-like Prince Heng, Chu Heng, into her household...
Chu Heng: Don't stop me. I just want to be a live-in husband.
