She returned from a political marriage.
And her kingdom was gone.
Once, she had been a princess.
Now, she was merely the princess of a fallen dynasty.
And sitting upon the dragon throne…
Was the very general who had once escorted her beyond the borders for that marriage.
Fortunately, she had lived this life once before.
She already knew how it would end.
So when she stood before the emperor of the new dynasty, she lowered her head without hesitation.
“With my meager abilities, I am unworthy of Your Majesty’s praise. I ask only for peace across the realm, for the people to live in safety, and for Your Majesty to enjoy health, fortune, and endless years. Long live the Emperor.”
The glory and honor of the old dynasty had become dust.
The princess of a fallen kingdom bent her proud back and kowtowed three times before the new emperor.
…
That year, he escorted Princess Baohua, Xie Yuzhang, beyond the frontier for her political marriage.
She said to him:
“The world is falling apart. The Xie dynasty’s fate is already sealed. If you have the ability, then one day this empire may be yours. And if that day comes, when you sit high upon the throne… Baohua will lower her head and pay you homage.”
He answered:
“Princess, such words are absurd. No matter what becomes of this world, no matter what becomes of me… to me, you will always be my princess.”
He watched the delicate, noble woman walk step by step into the barbarian king’s tent.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his palms bled.
…
Years later, he seized her wrist and said:
“I told you long ago. To me, you will always be my princess.”
“If you refuse… then you may be my empress instead.”
A story of lost kingdoms, political marriages, rebirth, buried devotion, and a princess who must face the man who conquered both her homeland and her heart.

Synopsis One :
After returning from her marriage alliance, the country was destroyed.
She went from being this kingdom’s princess to being the princess to a fallen dynasty.
On the dragon throne sat the general who had escorted her to her wedding.
Fortunately, she was reborn and knew it long ago.
“My humble power is unworthy of your majesty’s praise. I only hope that the world will be stable, that the people will live in peace, and I will be at ease. I also wish for the emperor to be healthy and to have a long life. Long live, long live, long live!”
The dignity and prosperity of the previous dynasty are gone, and the princess of the fallen country bowed her head and kowtowed to the emperor of the new dynasty three times and nine times.

Synopsis Two:
That year, he sent Princess Baohua, Xie Yu Zhang, to the border area for marriage.
She said: “The world is in turmoil, and the Xie family ran out of luck. If you are capable, you can take this kingdom. If you sit in the temple one day, Baohua… will bow her head and pay respect.”
He said: “Princess, what you said is absurd. No matter what the world is like, no matter what I am like, the princess will always be a princess to me.”
Watching the delicate and noble person enter step by step into the king’s tent, he clenched his fist until blood came out.
…
Later, he grabbed her wrist: “I said that the princess will always be a princess to me.”
“If you don’t want to, you can be the queen.”
