Pian Fangfang

Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Meng Qianqian brought Ban Xia and Tan'er to perform the ceremonial kowtow to the new Empress. 


 Meng Qianqian's demeanor was flawless, and Ban Xia followed suit respectfully, though Tan'er seemed a bit out of place. 


 Yao Qingluan said warmly, "Lady Lu, please rise." 


 Once the three straightened up, Yao Qingluan's gaze fell on Tan'er's clever and adorable oval-shaped face. "You must be Tan'er, correct?" 


 Tan'er tilted her head. "Does the Empress know me?" 


 Yao Qingluan smiled lightly. "Last night, His Majesty mentioned you, saying your braised pork was left uneaten when you departed suddenly." 


 At the mention of her heartbreak, Tan'er's hands flew to her face as she began to wail dramatically—without a single tear: "My braised pork, oh no!" 


 The assembled ladies and young maidens couldn't hold their laughter and covered their faces to hide their amusement.
