Love and Crown

She is the daughter of a powerful official and becomes empress, enjoying unmatched status. In the palace, she acts with pride - intimidating others, challenging rivals, and even opposing the Empress Dowager. The emperor showers her with tolerance and genuine protection, yet she responds with cold courtesy and distant indifference. Because once, they knew each other and loved deeply - but he mistakenly killed her closest kin. This time, she has returned for vengeance. As turmoil brews and enemies invade the borders, hidden currents stir within the capital and the palace. Due to an unexpected turn of events, she falls into enemy hands, and he ventures alone to rescue her. Upon their return, the court has already undergone a coup. He forsakes the empire, determined only to keep her safe. He hides in the martial world; she follows him through life and death, through bloodshed and decisive battles. When war ignites again, she stands by his side on the battlefield, sword in hand, their fates intertwined. Between revenge and love, loyalty to family and duty to the nation—the deepest devotion and the most ruthless severance pale in comparison to simply holding hands and growing old together.
