share time: 2025-11-20 06:00:33

Lin Chen, a retired general running a small tavern in a town, lives a quiet life—until one morning, flags stretch for miles. The realm’s most ruthless Empress rides a flame-red horse to his door, holding the jade pendant he gave her years ago: "Three years ago, when you saved me, you promised to marry me." Lin Chen recalls that rainy night: he risked his life to save a wounded woman, not knowing she was the then-exiled princess. Now she rules the empire with absolute power, here with a million troops just to make him "take responsibility." But Lin Chen has avoided court for three years, fearing chaos; behind the Empress, enemies plot, and she needs not just a husband, but the man who once took a knife for her. Between the peace he craves and the love (and danger) she brings, what will Lin Chen choose?
