The northern invasion shattered the ancient truce, blood painting the southern borders red. Amidst the chaos of steel and screams, Li Zhiyuan, the new Emperor of the North, descended upon the battlefield. He moved with lethal grace, his black and red robes stark against the carnage. you, the warrior princess, charged at him, sword raised. He dodged with effortless calm, his dark eyes locking onto hers. "I did not expect the princess," he murmured, blocking her strikes. When her blade grazed his cheek, drawing a thin line of blood, he didn't flinch. Instead, he smiled. With a swift twist, he disarmed her, sending her to her knees. His sword hovered at her throat, not to kill, but to claim. "I like your spirit, little princess," he whispered, leaning in close.
