Li Qingxun swiftly set her plans into motion.
The fifty-some members of the marriage alliance entourage became the sharp "blades" in her hands. Step by step, she subdued the surrounding barbarian tribes—training soldiers, forging weapons, and expanding her territory.
Her forces gradually grew stronger.
In less than five years, she had conquered nearly a hundred tribes and declared herself ruler. Once her power stabilized, she launched an attack on the Yelang Kingdom. Relying on overwhelming military might and strategic propaganda, the corrupt Yelang dynasty eventually crumbled and was absorbed into her domain.
Li Qingxun personally led her army into the imperial capital of Yelang, where she came face-to-face with the kingdom's white-haired emperor.
What was the point of being sent to Yelang as a bride?
Far better to conquer it outright.
