Emperor Yan Taizong Xiao Heng fought wars in the north and south, expanding the borders of the Yan Empire. Under his reign, the empire thrived, and the Yan Dynasty reached its peak. However, on his journey back to the capital after leading an expedition, Xiao Heng fell ill and passed away.

When he woke up, he was shocked to hear people around him say, “Your Majesty, the rebel army has attacked the imperial city, and the Yan Empire is about to fall!”

Xiao Heng: “……”

He had somehow traveled through time and found himself in the body of an emperor from a hundred years later in the Yan Dynasty.

As the rebel army approached the imperial palace, Xiao Heng, looking at his reflection in a mirror—dressed in a satin dress with a gold hairpin—fell into thought.

This incompetent king not only destroyed the empire, but also had a strange, unknown hobby—he liked to wear women’s clothing.

……

The Yan Dynasty had weakened, and warlords rose to power. Prince Duan Yunfeng, son of the King of the North, led the rebel army into the capital. But instead of finding the emperor, he found a princess dressed in fine robes.

Duan Yunfeng immediately fell in love with the princess, believing she was his true love.

The rebel king was not a wise ruler, so Duan Yunfeng married the princess and promised to help her take back the empire as a dowry.

The princess was perfect, but she was tall, cold, and silent—never speaking.

Duan Yunfeng thought the princess was mute until one day, while fighting the remnants of the Yan army, his men told him that the princess was following the “dead-and-resurrected” Emperor Xiao Heng.

Duan Yunfeng was furious and went to demand an explanation from the emperor.

Under the emperor’s crown, his cold, jade-like face seemed strangely familiar. “Didn’t you promise to help me take back the empire?”

Duan Yunfeng remembered the sweet promises he’d made to the “princess,” and suddenly realized:

Wait, how could the princess’s be a man?

……

In order to restore the empire, Xiao Heng had no choice but to endure the humiliation and disguise himself as a woman.

At first, he was annoyed by Duan Yunfeng, who called himself her “husband,” and vowed that when he regained the empire, he would make him a stable boy.

Later, Xiao Heng realized Duan Yunfeng wasn’t bad looking, and thought he could serve as a personal guard… or maybe even a general.

After a series of battles, Xiao Heng finally reclaimed the land of the Yan Empire.

That night, Xiao Heng and the general he personally appointed shared the dragon bed.
