Bai Chun Gu was an empress above all others, gifted in both the civil and military arts, and peerlessly graceful. She dreamed of conquering the realm and uniting the Central Plains.
She had always believed that men were nothing more than pawns to her.
That was, until the day she laid siege to the capital and the ruler of the Feihua Kingdom offered up a hostage prince, Wan Feihua. With three thousand strands of ink-black hair and a bright, burning gaze, he was like flowers blooming in the evening, dazzling her peerless years.
So she found it in her heart to spare the Feihua Kingdom.
He was like ice that would not warm in her hands, a tree that would not thaw.
“Though winter snow would have spring arrive late, it enters the garden through the trees as flying flowers.”, Han Yu, “Spring Snow”
Wan Feihua, if you are a flower blooming in the night, then you have dazzled my peerless years.
Warm me with half a year of spring, and carry me through a lifetime of splendor. I actually meant to write a court-intrigue novel, but I also like couples who have only ever been with each other, so as I wrote, it turned into an alternate-history fantasy. Just bear with me and read it.
I've read a few and it feels good, but I still like female protagonists with multiple female protagonists, so I'll stick with this one, author, come on!
Everyone has their own story, well written
