Expected 14 Apr 26UNDER SIEGE
Having at last consolidated the six prefectures of Zhongbo under his rule, Shen Zechuan stands between two looming threats: the Biansha Horsemen to the east, and the imperial court of Qudu to the west. Although Qudu remains paralyzed by internal strife, Shen Zechuan knows it’s only a matter of time before the fledgling emperor and her supporter, Xue Xiuzhuo, turn their eyes to him.
To the north, while Hassen continues to hammer Libei’s generals with relentless attacks, Xiao Chiye suspects his real target lies along the vulnerable border of Zhongbo. If he’s right, Shen Zechuan will be cut off and surrounded before reinforcements arrive.
Yet when Hassen’s attack comes, it is with a brutality no one anticipated. Forced to make a desperate stand, Shen Zechuan must hold the walls until Xiao Chiye arrives—or the city falls.

I think this is the best danmei ever written.
the story was so strong and interesting
it kept me at the edge of my seat from start to finish.
the chemistry between the characters was amazing
the fact that they both are on the same level of strength and intelligence made their chemistry even stronger.
pace of the story was just right
it wasn't too slow or rushed
it had some really heartbreaking moments but it didn't trauma dump just to be dramatic
everything was for the sake of the story.
and portrayal of women was wonderful
in a world where it is cruel to women and they are treated as a second class citizen,
these women do not sit still and look pretty.
they take action and stand their ground.
and the smut?
omg THE BEST smut I've ever read.
nothing too explicit
no disgusting details
no r@pe or @ssualt
just strong chemistry and tender love
its was so hot I loved it
