JOURNEY OF A PRINCESS TO RULE THE EMPIRE ONE DAY. JOURNEY OF A MAN TO SEE HIS WOMAN RULE THE EMPIRE ONE DAY. --- Tang Jia Li, the Crown Princess of the Tang Empire, was accused of the murder of her father, the Emperor. The same night, she was deposed from her royal title and ordered to be beheaded. When she attempted to run away, she died at the hands of her enemies. Before embracing death, she prays for one chance to change her fate. Thankfully, Heaven listens to her, and she gets reborn on the same day when it all begins. However, it is not easy to take revenge alone when her enemies are countless. That is when Tang Jia Li gets the support of the five young noblemen— The Empress’s bodyguard, the State Minister's son, the Prime Minister’s son, the Governor’s son, and the General’s son. While embarking the journey of revenge, she gets entangled with these five noblemen, finding Friendship, Loyalty, Rivalry and True Love. ~~~~~~ Jia Li held her breath as she felt his warm exhales against her skin, soon followed by the warmth of his lips. She pushed him away. "Xianwu, no more teasing," she cautioned, observing his amused smile directed at her. "What did I do?" Xianwu acted innocent, keeping the smirk on his lips. "Act like a noble man not an immoral one," she scolded him. "I believe in acting immorally around you," Xianwu remarked. Jia Li shot a glance at him. "Don't look at me with that gaze. It gives me an invitation to do more with you," Xianwu said. ~~~~~~ The story contains mature themes of ancient times such as severe punishments, slavery, killings etc. Thank you author AleeqaC for helping in the synposis edits.

Xianwu rested his head on his propped elbow, gazing affectionately at Jia Li, who remained deeply asleep. His fingertip gently brushed against her soft cheek, a smile forming on his lips as he admired the ethereal morning beauty.
The movement of the pad of his finger against her cheek stirred Jia Li up from her sleep and she gradually opened her eyes only to be greeted by her husband's face.
"Good morning," Jia Li greeted him and snuggled to him.
Xianwu planted a tender kiss on her forehead. "You're so endearing when you're asleep," he remarked, lightly caressing the bridge of her nose with his fingertip.
"We're going out today," Xianwu announced.
"Really? Where to?" Jia Li's excitement bubbled up.
"Well, that's a surprise," Xianwu replied mysteriously.
"But is it safe for us to go out?" Jia Li's worry creased her face. "I'm more concerned about your safety. You've unwittingly become a target," she expressed.
