When the new emperor of Dayu, Long Zexian, first ascended the throne, the nation was in turmoil and everything needed rebuilding. Clearly unable to control the throne he'd come into by chance, Long Zexian had old ministers who wouldn't serve him, while the northern and southern territories broke away to establish their own states. With the court beset by internal and external threats, the empress dowager sought to turn things around. She set her sights on Yan Zixi, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Left Chancellor's residence, hoping to win over the staunchly neutral chancellor and use his influence to stabilize the court.
The upheaval at court should have had nothing to do with a sheltered young lady, but Yan Zixi's identity kept her from staying out of it. One night, amid the incessant chirping of cicadas, she was poisoned and smuggled out of the Left Chancellor's residence without a soul noticing, then taken to Mount Fulong.
The “Drunken Soul” poison was a rare and deadly toxin. One dose led to a drunken loss of virtue, and a fool on Mount Fulong benefited from it, sharing a night of passion with her.
The next day, when Yan Zixi awoke, all she wanted was to die.
She tried hanging herself, jumping into a river, and slitting her throat, but the fool saved her every time.
If she couldn't die, then she'd have to live well. As long as she lived, there was hope...
A second dose of “Drunken Soul” meant certain death. Yan Zixi thought that as long as she stayed alive, she could take things one step at a time. But Death crept close once more...
Five years later, Long Zeyu, the twenty-five-year-old Prince of the West, made a name for himself in battle and became the man every young woman in Dayu longed to marry.
When the Prince of the West sat high on his horse, clad in silver armor and a red cloak, his cold, murderous aura made the young ladies love and fear him in equal measure. None dared approach, so they could only toss their belongings from afar to express their affection.
That is, until a little boy stood in front of his horse. The Prince of the West, still as a statue, actually reacted. Not only that, he dismounted and let a boy of four or five lead him away. The crowd erupted.
Wasn't the Prince of the West still unmarried? The young ladies' hearts shattered in an instant.
Wasn't it already finished? Why is it still updating? I only started reading it because it was already completed.
The plot was full of twists and turns, making the audience's hearts race.
It's very good, no worse than those with higher ratings. I stayed up all night to watch it.
It's excellent and worth reading.
When the heart is simple, the world is simple, and happiness will flourish.
