Jian Zhizhen's lips curled slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her bewitching black eyes.
She doesn't want to be a subservient princess sent to marry another man; she wants to be the one in charge.
She started this scheme ten years ago.
Qin Yubai is the most important link in this scheme.
...
General Qin conquered the southern border and escorted Princess Zhen back to Northern Yan.
Her uncle was furious when he learned of this and issued an imperial decree: whoever could take Princess Zhen's head would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and a high-ranking official position.
Before he finished speaking, a group of elite soldiers escorted Jian Zhizhen into the main hall.
"Traitorous scoundrel, you killed my father and brothers and seized my imperial power. Today I will make you pay for this in blood!"
Her uncle, enraged, came down the stone steps: "You're a princess, what royal power do you have?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow flew in from outside and pierced straight into his heart!
He died right there in front of his civil and military officials.
The ministers turned around in horror to see Qin Yubai standing before the hall, holding a longbow, looking like a demon from hell.
Jian Zhizhen walked up the stone steps without changing his expression, sat on the dragon throne, lowered his eyelids slightly, and coldly looked down at the corpse on the ground: "Chop it up and throw it into the pigsty to feed the pigs."
After reigning as the new emperor for several months, he was chopped into mincemeat right there in the palace.
The others, gazing at the blood that stained the entire hall, were so terrified they dared not breathe, and knelt down, submitting to the Empress.
Only one old minister stepped forward to instruct Jian Zhizhen: "There is no precedent in Northern Yan for a woman to hold power; this matter is improper."
Jian Zhizhen looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.
She slowly walked down the steps, drew the sword from the guard beside her, and swung it down.
She personally killed that rambling old minister.
Qin Yu stared at her blankly, feeling as if he hadn't fully understood her.
Whenever she saw blood gushing out, her beautiful black eyes shone brightly, like a bloodthirsty monster, completely different from the innocent princess who succumbed to lust with him every night.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He loved every aspect of her.
...
From that day on, if anyone in the court dared to disobey, Qin Yubai would kill their entire family on behalf of Jian Zhizhen.
In chaotic times, no one has the patience to listen to talk about benevolent governance.
What we want is to beat them, to torture them, to make them afraid.
Several months later.
Although Jian Zhizhen's throne was secure, she was still busy with complicated government affairs until late at night every day.
She hadn't seen Qin Yubai for a long time.
Even when she has free time, she won't see you.
Qin Yubai would wait for her outside her study every day, sometimes until dawn.
He gradually sensed something was wrong and asked the old eunuch who served Jian Zhizhen, "Why won't His Majesty see me?"
The old eunuch looked at him with pity.
Who would have thought that the feared God of War was actually so humble and devoted?
He couldn't bear it, so he made an exception and pointed out, "His Majesty has raised more than just one dog."
Although the words were harsh, they came from the bottom of my heart.
The princess had already seen through her uncle's wolfish ambitions back then, but the late emperor was kind and compassionate and could not bear to harm his brother.
So the princess took advantage of the trip to select suitable people to train.
That year, when Qin Yubai looked at the princess, the princess also noticed him.
She then began to find reclusive generals to teach him military strategy, sent imperial guards to train his martial arts, and constantly made arrangements and provided opportunities in the army. Coupled with his actual ability, this enabled him to rise step by step.
However, Chien Chih-chen has trained more than just this one dog.
Her dogs were in the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works...
General Qin gritted his teeth, and the veins on his fists bulged.
So, it turns out she had secretly taken in a concubine behind his back?
...
In the following two weeks.
One by one, the people Jian Zhizhen had trained came to resign.
They were all in their early twenties, yet they all wanted to retire and return to their hometowns with her.
Everyone was bruised and battered, with broken arms and legs.
Although neither of them gave a reason, Jian Zhizhen could guess that it was all Qin Yu's doing!
That night, Jian Zhizhen stormed into the general's mansion and dragged Qin Yubai out of bed.
"Are you crazy! Do you know how much effort I've put into training them?!"
Qin Yubai had been waiting for her for a long time.
He pulled her tightly into his arms, gently biting her neck. His actions were forceful, yet his attitude was humble: "Zhenzhen, only I am qualified to be your dog."
Jian Zhizhen had prepared a whole host of curses, but now she couldn't utter a single word; his desire was too much for her to handle.
Why.
Some wild dogs are fierce and difficult to tame.
But she still wanted him to continue herding sheep and hunting for her.
She can't live without him.
When she came to her senses, she was already lying on top of him, his kisses falling softly and gently.
Jian Zhizhen whispered hoarsely, "General, you have indeed trained many helpers."
She slightly raised her slender, fair neck, ran her fingers through Qin Yubai's hair, and pressed him against her.
"But you're the only one who's come to my side."
A warm feeling welled up in Qin Yubai's chest, and the gloom that had lingered in his heart for so long vanished without a trace.
She didn't need to explain to him, but she actually did! That's enough to prove how much she values him!
"Just me is enough." He grabbed her waist, his movements becoming increasingly unrestrained: "I can work hard to build your empire during the day, and I can work hard to serve you at night!"
...
From then on, everyone knew that the Empress of Northern Yan was not to be trifled with.
Because she had a rabid dog by her side that would bite anyone it saw, and protected her like its own life.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the level!
Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai sat on the large sofa and removed the electrode pads from their necks together, separating themselves from the game they had just played.
They were playing a trendy holographic game. Once in the game, they didn't carry any memories of their real life and could fully immerse themselves in the character. All the physical sensations felt incredibly realistic, as if they were living another life with a different identity.
Some hidden content in the game can only be unlocked after you reach adulthood.
The game also scores characters based on their performance.
Qin Yubai looked at the score that appeared in front of him; he had lost again.
Sigh, I don't know why, I can't beat her in real life, and I still can't beat her in the game.
"Hmph, I won again. It wasn't difficult at all."
Jian Zhizhen casually tossed the electrode pads aside, turned around, straddled Qin Yubai's lap, pinched his cheek, and complained, "Bai Bai, how come you're so bold in the game, daring to force me? Why don't you dare to do that in real life?"
Qin Yubai's eyes remained burning with passion. He held her waist and pulled her closer to him.
He gently nuzzled the nape of her neck and whispered in her ear, "It's illegal."
