Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Tian Ni looked towards the defenseless emperor in front of her. How many times did she vow to herself that she would wait for that person and yet, he never turned to her? She finally gave up and chose the man before her for the power behind him. However, her plan turned into dust as the Kai Kingdom was no more.

Previously, her family position in Kai Kingdom crumbled. Ever since the corruption her father did get found out, they lost all the prestige they had. It was the first time she experienced setback in her life, and they moved to another kingdom. The small she didn't understand, but it was a long journey.

Later on, she met with a really astounding boy. The boy named Soujin, who have started practicing martial arts since young. Despite him only being a little boy, he had strength far surpassed other people his age. The young her, albeit only 5, was captivated by him.

At first, she thought of him as a brother, who would protect her. He was kind to her but never talked too much. She thought that he was a quiet child, but it turned out he was just cautious.

Calling him big brother, she hoped that she could get close with him. No matter how she looked at him, she couldn't get enough. However, the boy was more interested in martial arts rather than her.

"Why won't you look at me?"

When she asked this question, Soujin looked at her strangely. "Why would I want to look at you?"

The way he said it was blunt, but she didn't mind it. She was determined that she would make him look at her. However, when her parents said that the Nanglong family was done for, she finally saw the big picture. Her parents persuaded her to get away from him and seeing his miserable state, she felt that he was really unworthy, so she left him.

After a few years, she moved back to Kai Kingdom and started to get close with the princes from Kai Kingdom. They were indeed handsome and have powerful force behind them, but they were not that good in her eyes.

It was then she heard the news from Ming Kingdom. The young boy whom she used to adore started to shine again. He showed achievement one by one, each one was greater than the previous one. Once again, she fell in love with what he did and she vowed to have him, this time until forever.

When her family returned back to the Ming Kingdom, she came to his place. However, the warmth he once showed her was no longer there. He looked at her indifferently as if they never knew each other before.

Why? She didn't do anything wrong, right?

But, he didn't tell her anything and went to war again. She couldn't stay at the Ming Kingdom for a long time since her family got another trouble. Once again she returned to Kai Kingdom. Every time there was a war, she would hear about his accomplishment.

After that, she heard another one, a perfect candidate named Jun Min. With a little begging, she asked her parents to let her see the boy. The border of Kai Kingdom was the place where she first saw him, a young man who was worthy of the name powerful.

His body was small, but he was really good at martial arts. The soldiers followed his order without any hesitation, and they would respect him fully. Jun Min was the second person who mesmerized her from the first meeting.

The problem was…

"He's too young. You would be too old when he grows up."

Her mother told her so. Tian Ni knew that and she had to give up the notion of chasing after the boy. She felt that it was truly a shame because she knew that Soujin rarely looked at her. However, she didn't have any choice. There was no way she could seduce a kid when there was an older one.

Returning back to the Ming Kingdom, she found out that he still didn't want to look at her. He kept his distance from him and refused to speak to her. She felt hurt, but she would not give up that easily.

During the time she was staying in Ming Kingdom, she heard the news about Lan Gao Ya's trick to take Jun Min. The trick was an old one, but rarely used since it can harm the reputation. Should the trick successful, the man would not have any choice but to marry the woman.

Too bad, Lan Gao Ya failed in her attempt and got schemed at by her cousin. When she heard the news, she too felt that it was really a shame. She didn't have any relation with the other party, and the news was just something she heard in the passing time.

The trick, however, was etched deep in her memory. When the emperor proposed the method of marriage agreement with the Ming Kingdom, she voluntary offered herself. It was the first time she decided that she would make the man hers. Even if she had to use force, she would still do it.

Her plan failed even more miserably and she ended up getting tossed away. Her hearts turned cold and she chose another person to be her husband, a person with a powerful force behind him to show him that she could live better without him. But, the power her husband had been taken from him by the person she adored. What a fate…

Taking a dagger out of her sleeves, Tian Ni looked towards the person before her. If she couldn't have a better husband, she would just become more powerful than him. In this dire situation, she would escape and show him that she was more powerful.

STAB!

"Ni'er! What are you doing?" Emperor Mou pushed the girl violently.

Tian Ni fell to the ground, but she smiled. The dagger hit right to the heart, the emperor would die in short time. She would be the only ruler, the Empress of Kai Kingdom. Yet, Kai Kingdom was no longer existed in mere minutes.

"Guards, help!" Emperor Mou yelled frantically.

Tian Ni rose to her feet. She looked at him coldly. "No one will come. I have evacuated everyone before you come."

Emperor Mou's face paled, but he could run. His feet feel weak, and he fell to the floor. Due to the loss of blood, Emperor Mou breathed his last in the harem.

Tian Ni looked towards that person with scorn. "You're unworthy the title of emperor."

Soujin would soon come here, and she didn't want to bow down to him. Even if she were to be beaten to death, she would show him. She was the powerful empress. When the time right, she would come back to trample him.
