Guardian Princess of the Nation

share time: 2025-10-18 12:33:38

Princess Shen Zhao disguised herself as a man to defend the kingdom's borders for ten years, only to be summoned back to the palace by her father. But instead of rewards, she faced a marriage decree: to marry Gu Heng, a hostage prince from the enemy state. Gu Heng was thin and gentle, always sitting in the garden with an old book, but in the late-night candlelight of his study, his gaze on the map of his homeland was sharper than a sword. Shen Zhao intended to probe his secrets, but when an assassin attacked, he jumped in front of her and took the blade—his blood seeped into her robes, and into her heart. Yet when the emperor forced a cup of poisoned wine into her hand, saying, "The hostage is rebelling; you must act," and when Gu Heng appeared at the city gate on his warhorse with his homeland's totem on his armor, Shen Zhao finally understood: their love had stood on opposite sides of the sword from the very start.
