News from the frontier brought joy: the Crown Prince was soon to return to the capital in triumph. The noble ladies of the capital awaited eagerly, all eyes on the future Crown Princess.

Yet, what no one expected was the return of a young girl alongside the Crown Prince.

Rumor had it that the Prince picked her up on his way back to the capital. The girl, with fair skin and a beautiful appearance, seemed soft and easily bullied. Her watery eyes invoked compassion in anyone who saw her.

The usually indifferent Prince held her dearly in his palms, often saying:

“She’s timid, don’t scare her.”

“She’s innocent and kind, don’t deceive her with cunning!”

“She’s fragile, Mother, please take extra care of her.”

However, everything changed when the young girl, with a cold, gleaming sword, rescued the Prince from enemy assassins. Everyone was astounded.

Timid? Innocent and kind? Fragile?

Later, many claimed the girl’s identity was unknown, her actions ruthless and mu*derous. The Prince turned a deaf ear and insisted on a royal decree for marriage.

Eventually, she became the Empress, the first in history to co-rule with the Emperor. She journeyed thousands of miles to find a cure for the Emperor, working with the new Emperor to build a prosperous realm. From then on, no one dared to speak a word against her.

Tang Jiaojiao, grievously wounded due to internal strife within the palace, fell into a deep slumber in a tree for days. When she awoke, she found herself in a luxurious carriage.

Confused, she wondered… had she been kidnapped?

She tried to gather her internal energy, but to no avail…

As Tang Jiaojiao closed her eyes, pondering how to escape, a pleasant voice came from above: “You’re awake.”

She looked up, stunned.

What kind of enchanting beauty was this!

“I’ve lost my memory. Are you my husband?

Tang Jiaojiao blinked her clear eyes innocently.

After a moment of silence, a low chuckle followed by a gentle voice responded: “Yes.”

Content, Tang Jiaojiao followed her newfound husband into the capital, entering the Eastern Palace, enjoying luxurious clothing and jewelry, and receiving endless affection.

Until the ‘enchanting beauty’ started telling everyone how fragile and timid she was, Tang Jiaojiao was perplexed.

Should she tell him that she was the infamous, ruthless master of the Pear Blossom Palace they all spoke of?
