Petite Princess VS Rough Khan
On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor.
After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand.
Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top.
Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her:
Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity...
The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan...
The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around?
Little theater scene 1:
One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall.
“Why are you avoiding this Khan?”
“They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.”
“Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?”
“But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.”
Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things.
“The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.”
Little theater scene 2:
The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun.
“Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...”
“Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?”
Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.

The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Khan of Yue Nation received the news and couldn't contain his excitement, throwing a grand banquet for his ministers that very night.


After three rounds of wine, the banquet was in full swing.


Suddenly, a guard came to report that Khitan soldiers had already taken control of the various military forces and had breached the imperial city.


The Khan of Yue Nation thought he had heard wrong, his face flushed with alcohol, as he staggeredly rose to his feet.


"What nonsense are you spouting," he slurred, "Yelu Yan is fatally injured, and the Khitan Imperial Court is in total chaos. How could they have the energy to bother with Yue Country?"


"Someone! Chop the head off this scoundrel who dares to spread false news!" he roared.


The soldier struggled, crying out his innocence, but it was no use; he could only meet his forced death.


Shortly thereafter, another soldier, unaware of the developments, came forward to report the same news.
