She has been drawn into the life of the phoenix, such fate – “The Emperor Swallow”, but few days later she married the Prime Minister; she possesses beauty that overthrows cities and ruins states but also has a talented and virtuous mind, yet her husband is deeply in love with the Emperor’s doted consort. On their wedding night, his face filled with guilt, says to her: Apart from love, I can give you anything……
Though deep in nobility, her life is not monotonous, to pick up the new number one scholar from within the imperial palace, to rescue the Nu clan’s prince in the back alleys, and with the young general falling off the cliff, with the Emperor engaging in a battle of wits over the inner palace…….
Many men were unable to conquer her beauty and wisdom, yet when trying to win the beauty, they cannot let go of their plundering desires in lust for power. Within the imperial court, there is an underlying turbulence of disputing fronts. On the battlefield, there is the slaughtering of armoured cavalry……the tender grace of a beauty, hearts fuelled with lust for power, which is it that is the burial of such heroes?
Troubled times since the war, they survive in this strife, fighting to dominate this world, seizing the beauty that overthrows cities and ruin states……
The world, because of this beauty, is in chaos; but who is it that this beauty charmingly smiles at?

Whois the leading character? Is it prime minster's wife or consort?
What is OE? And why is the ending OE?
The leading female is pm'wife. Lead male is pm. it is oe because the male lead give up th pm position for the female lead. But in the end it is vague if both lead alive or not. But it is said in 播外 that they are alive and open a medicine shop.
Exactly how many is the female lead suitors? XD
The Emperor , the Prime Minister (her husband), General Lin, court official Guan and a foreign land Prince. I like the female lead's intelligence and courage. I wish General Lin could have a better ending though. Like this book but wished there was more written about their lives after the battle. Ending was abrupt.
The emperor also love her? And seen like there is no happy ending for General Lin.What happened to him.I think he is good.. Oh!I'm going to crazy because I want to know the ending!-_-!
Wait... The Emperor too??! Can someone spoil me how the Emperor come to like her? I mean he already has Yao Ying.. That would make him Lao Che love rival-again!
The "radiodrama till 1" link on tuudou isn't for this story :( The first one (10 mins) was though.
Nice to see that another fanmade MV was made from this book.
Starring Cecilia Liu as Gui Wan, Crystal Liu as Consort Yao Ying (Ying Fei), Wallace Chung as Prime Minister Lou Che, Hu Ge as General Lin Rui En, Yuan Hong as Nu Prince Ye Li, Li Jie as Guan Xiu Wen, and Nicky Wu as the Emperor

[spoiler]Slowly reading my way through this book and on chapter 10 now and so far we have 3 men (General Lin, Ye Li, and Guan Xiu Wen) who are already confirmed to be in love with Gui Wan (we finally get more of Ye Li even if it's indirectly via his Nu tribe messenger) and one man who obviously has feelings for his own wife by how anxious Lou Che was when he found out Gui Wan was missing and worried she might be possibly injured/dead in chapters 7-8.
Surprised to find out about Gui Wan's (and her brother's) relationship to the Empress. Makes for an even more angsty story since it means Gui Wan and Lou Che are standing on opposite sides.[/spoiler]
thank you JOANNAKUANG for your spoiler :)
haha, you're welcome fantoosa. I purposely left things a bit vague (like the relationship between Gui Wan and the Empress) so that you can still be surprised when you find out.
Spoilers below so don't read if you want to remain spoiler-free!
[spoiler]So I got through to the mid-twenties chapters at the moment. Looks like the emperor has fallen in love with Gui Wan as well. Not like I can blame him seeing as Consort Ying betrayed him time and again. Gui Wan's personality was probably very refreshing to him because she never stuck up to him and made him ponder deeply, but I still do not like how he would encroach on another man's wife even if he is the emperor.
I might be in the minority, but I'm all for the OTP of Lou Che and Gui Wan even if I agree with Guan Xiu Wen that Lou Che may not be deserving of her. It's frustrating to know that he loves his wife (and one of my favorite by far is when he confesses to her and tell her to disregard the promise he made on his wedding night about not falling in love) but also rushes to court/palace every time Yao Ying summons him (out of obligation of their past?).
I, especially, like his jealousy over how many guys are in love with his wife. He tells her, "you can take your time (in considering the truthfulness of his love confession), but you cannot fall in love with anyone else." So possessive!
When he found out that Ye Li's most cherished person was his Gui Wan, I swooned when he ruined the portrait and said, "she's my wife". Hehehe. And when Gui Wan was kidnapped by Ye Li, the scene where Lou Che was fretting over her disappearance and finally admits to himself that he unknowingly and slowly fell in love with her was really touching.
I like General Lin very much as well, and am dreading reading his ending judging from the comments above. :([/spoiler]
