Daily Life in the 70s - Chapter 2 - : Elder Cousin Sister

I am Augustus Mengsk, the founder of this new empire, the ruler of Tarsonis, Korhal, Antiga, and hundreds of other core worlds and colony planets. Now, without the need for a crown or scepter, I am the undisputed sovereign by law.— Coronation oath of Emperor Augustus II of the Terran Empire.---This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story. I don't own the picture in the novel cover.

220 years ago, in the legendary Dragon Demon War, Hero Azell ended the war by killing the evil Dragon Demon race’s King Atein. He was able to save the population, but as a consequence, he was cursed. While he was dying, the high magician suggested a gamble that might save his life.

He is Xi Liang’s legendary emperor: a decisive and ruthless king; a man of supreme wisdom; a cunning strategist.

According to legend, he once conferred the love meant for the three thousand concubines in his harem onto one woman, while the world watched in envy.

According to legend, he once executed a hundred people for her, turning the palace into a purgatory overnight.

According to legend, he ultimately sentenced that same woman to death by execution…

A conspiracy that swept through the country resulted in her tragic end. This lifetime seems to be a repeat of her past life. Can she escape the clutches of fate to attain true love in this life? In both lives, she was the Emperor’s wife, but is that ruthless man really her true love mandated by Heaven?

Did she really die, just like that?

In the end, beyond the veil of lies and mysteries, who exactly was she? Was she a woman that he truly loved, or was she merely a chess piece to be used in his political machinations?

The stories passed onto later generations remain fraught with conflicting opinions.
