In Order To Marry Her, I Became Empress All The Way

Read

Huo Changjin once said: “I will accompany you as you grow, until you are strong enough to shield me from the wind and rain.” Xiao Qi fulfilled that promise.

In the Beichen Dynasty, women can serve as generals, ministers, or even as rulers and kings.

On the day Huo Changjin returned victorious, a heavy snow fell upon the capital. She was granted the title of Marquis of Dingxi, but she publicly refused the imperial reward, asking only that the Emperor govern the conquered Xiliang kingdom “according to local customs.” The entire court was in an uproar. Only Xiao Qi knew that the youthful spirit that once filled her phoenix eyes, which had previously shone with starlight, was gone.

Three years ago, amidst the apricot blossoms and spring rain, Xiao Qi took a poisoned arrow meant for Huo Changjin, nearly dying. Huo Changjin knelt outside Zhaoyang Palace for two days and two nights, then left without a word, rushing to the battlefield. For three years, there was no news of her.

Upon her return, she was successful and renowned, yet she treated Xiao Qi with icy indifference, offering only the phrase: “The debt is paid, the connection is broken. That is all.”

No one knew that Huo Changjin’s victory report was stained with the blood of her closest kin. No one knew that behind that great triumph lay the injustice of three hundred soldiers who died in vain. She cast aside her glory, took up her sword in the darkness, and transformed into a Yama of Vengeance, vowing to make all conspirators pay their blood debt.

Xiao Qi watched her, radiating killing intent, blood staining the soles of her boots. Yet, Xiao Qi simply stepped forward, grabbed her lapel, and asked with reddened eyes: “Huo Changjin, are you seeking vengeance, or are you planning to drag them all down with you?” “If you choose to walk alone, I will never see you again in this life. If you choose me, I will follow you through mountains of knives and seas of fire.”

She declared: I will bring justice to the cries in the dark night. I will stop the bloodshed and stabilize the nation. If the laws of this world do not serve me, I will defy them and rewrite the rules. She said: If the mountains and rivers cannot tolerate us, then I will face the mountains and rivers with you!
