Murong Jin is the empire’s undefeated goddess of war. On the battlefield, she has crushed every enemy, earning glory, power, and the fear of her foes. But her greatest challenge awaits in the capital—not an enemy army, but an imperial decree. Her reward for victory is not honor, but a forced marriage to the Fifth Prince, Xue Liulan. To the world, he is the useless prince—a tyrant of taverns and gambling halls, drunk, shameless, and disgraced. To her, he is humiliation incarnate. Yet beneath his mask of vice and laziness lurks something dangerous. Behind the smile of a wastrel hides a man with sharp fangs: a secret vendetta, a war fought in the dark, and ambitions that could shake the throne itself. Now, the empire’s strongest general is bound to its most despised prince. One seeks freedom, the other revenge. But in the palace, where every smile hides a blade, their union will light the fuse that could consume the dynasty. Can Murong Jin tame her useless tyrant husband—or will she find herself trapped in his deadly game?

You were sent here to be forgotten. Instead, you've made yourself impossible to lose. Lady Xu Lianhua never expected to be chosen for anything least of all marriage to the most powerful man in the empire. She's the illegitimate daughter, the family disgrace, the beautiful mistake her father's wife pretends doesn't exist. When the Imperial summons arrives demanding a bride from the prestigious Xu family, everyone knows it should be her legitimate half-sister, Xu Mingzhu the golden daughter, beloved and perfect in every way. But Mingzhu is in love with someone else. And desperate families make cruel choices. On the eve of the wedding, Lianhua is drugged, dressed in her sister's red bridal robes, and sent to the Imperial Palace as a substitute. The plan is simple: once the marriage is consummated, the Emperor will discover the deception and discard her. Mingzhu will be free to marry her lover. Lianhua will be exiled or worse and the family's honor somehow preserved through this twisted logic. Except no one anticipated the Emperor himself. Emperor Shen Yuzhi is a living legenda warrior who claimed the throne at sixteen through blood and brilliance, who crushed three rebellions before his twentieth birthday, whose cold beauty is matched only by his ruthless reputation. They say he has no heart. That he married for politics, not love, and expects nothing from his Empress but silence and an heir. He knows about the substitution the moment he lifts her veil. He sees the fear in her eyes, the drug still clouding her system, the desperate way she tries to hide her terror. He should have her family executed for this insult. Instead, he offers her a choice: Stay and be my Empress in truth, or leave tonight with enough gold to disappear forever. Lianhua, with nothing to lose and nowhere to go, chooses to stay. She expects neglect. Coldness. To be a decorative ghost in the palace, useful only for producing heirs. What she doesn't expect is to be summoned to the Emperor's study three nights later not to his bed, but to his war council. Or for him to slide a stack of military reports across the table and ask: What do you see? Growing up invisible taught Lianhua to observe everything. To read between lies, spot patterns in chaos, understand the games people play when they think no one's watching. She spent years in her father's library, devouring strategy texts and historical records no one thought a daughter should read. And now, with nothing left to fear, she tells the Emperor exactly what she sees: the border conflict isn't random raid sit's a coordinated invasion. The merchants requesting tariff reductions are funding rebels. The peace envoy from the Western Kingdom is an assassin.

Thanks for the support~* "From the tips of his hair to his lips and eyes—everything about him is red. His entire being screams 'walking red flag.' And yet, he treats me differently... or is it just my imagination?" After the death of his parents in a car accident, Akagi Suga sold his parents' house and moved to unknown apartment in Shinjuku. He raised his younger brother alone, their life didn't go smoothly but at least as long as Suga lived with his younger brother, their life was always pleasant. Until finally people from IHPS (International Human Protection Squad) approached him, making Akagi Suga remember again that his father was a former instructor of that 'neutral' special forces. He didn't want to get involved with people from an organization created by elites under the guise of ‘military’, an organization filled with crazy people, but when Nakajima Yuki, his childhood friend asked Suga to join IHPS, at first Suga refused, however— "It wasn't an accident, both your parents were killed." He already had this suspicion for a long time. 'Will going to IHPS make it easier for me to find out which organization killed my parents?' And why did a madman named Zion Hughes always make it difficult for him to find out about the organization? — (additional: mpreg focused chapters in vol. 2 after Egotistic/sides)
