Synopsis
Everyone always thought Ying Jiuque was delicate, helpless, and plagued by bad luck—constantly stumbling upon crime scenes.
Until the emperor’s birthday banquet, when she casually knocked off half an assassin’s skull with a single brick…
Wiping the blood from her hands, Ying Jiuque thought:
“Will they believe me if I say it was just a reflex?”
“Will they believe me if I say I can make salt and know where the gold mines are?”
“Will they believe me if I say I can lead an army into battle?”
The old emperor, who could hear her inner thoughts:
“…This child is simple and sincere. She even saved my life and asks for nothing in return. Reward her!”
From then on, no one could understand why the emperor trusted Ying Jiuque so deeply. From a mere county princess, she rose rapidly—receiving overwhelming favor and honor. And Ying Jiuque herself couldn’t understand why everyone around her was so foolish.
Did they really think that someone born with divine strength, who cares for the people and plans every step ahead…
…was doing all this just for the empty title of a princess?
County Princess, Princess, Countess, Marquis, General… until she became the uncrowned ruler of the northern territories.
What’s next?
Other than the highest seat in the land, what else could put her at ease?
Why—can’t a princess ascend the throne?
Power has always been the best tonic for women.
