After Becoming the Princess of a Doomed Nation in a Restricted Novel

Yun Xi transmigrated into a restricted ancient romance and power struggle novel.

The good news: She is a revered princess of a nation. The bad news: She is about to enter the "restricted" plotline.

In the original novel, she was a spoiled and overbearing legitimate princess, and because the late emperor had no sons, her future son would be enthroned as emperor.

As soon as she turned eighteen, various powerful families and aristocratic clans in Chang'an vied for her. From the imperial tutor to young influential officials, and even her personal guards, all had illicit affairs with her, a woman known for her promiscuous nature.

The novel's ending could not be changed: she was fated to become a princess of a doomed nation, and her eventual fate would be even more tragic. However, there was one person who was different.

Ji Xun, the youngest general of Great Wei, was of slave origin, highly skilled in martial arts. He was scouted and promoted by a discerning young noble, achieved great military feats on the battlefield, and was eventually conferred the title of "Flying Cavalry Grand General."

This man was devoid of romantic love, rigid as wood in front of any woman. He pursued fame and fortune his entire life, and to protect the benefactor who had uplifted him, the young noble, he died in the chaos of Chang'an, never marrying in his life.

So, Yun Xi decided to strike first. Before Ji Xun became famous, she would claim him to protect herself.

Ji Xun, from a childhood of killing in slave pits, was cold, ruthless, and only knew fighting; he had no emotional intelligence whatsoever. Nothing could move him except for personal gain.

One day, Yun Xi stood before his cage, smiling as she asked if he would come with her, promising to treat him well. He looked at the girl in the fiery red dress, gently tugged at her skirt, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Master."

After Ji Xun became her guard, he dealt with guards who secretly entered her room in the dead of night, broke the legs of young noblemen who tried to molest her, and killed a cousin at a banquet who harbored incestuous desires.

Yun Xi regarded him as her most capable right-hand man, providing him with good food and clothes, having him follow her wherever she went, and even stand behind a screen to guard her during baths.

Yun Xi firmly believed that Ji Xun would not harbor improper thoughts about her, until she was drugged and trapped in a dark room, unable to escape.

Just as she was on the verge of ruin, Ji Xun arrived in a hurry and swiftly killed the person who drugged her. Seeing her eyes filled with lust, he did not leave; instead, he locked the door.

"Get out."

"This medicine has no cure. I will help you."

Later, Yun Xi realized that his "cold and restrained" demeanor was all an act; he was clearly a repressed beast!

This is a story about a MAX combat power, outwardly cold but inwardly devious man, and a delicate, lovely princess.
