In the third year of Yuan Yi, Princess Jinhua went to the southern frontier, where she stayed for six years. She was the emperor’s own younger sister and dearly loved by him. A devout Buddhist, she detested the infighting and intrigue of palace life. Just as everyone assumed she would spend the rest of her life in the southern frontier, the princess returned to the palace, this time as the frontier’s Holy Maiden...
Their first meeting was a pair of eyes barely visible above the yellow sands of the desert. Huo Junchen never imagined that one glance would last a lifetime. If the first half of his life had been devoted to power and the realm, then the second half would belong to Su Qingjing alone.
Huo Junchen slipped his right arm around Su Qingjing, his hand encircling the slender waist of the woman in his arms. Feeling her graceful figure against him, his throat tightened. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Your Highness, do you really not trust me?” The blade had already broken the skin on Huo Junchen’s neck, and beads of blood were beginning to seep out. Su Qingjing tightened her grip on the blade and replied coldly, “You have no credibility with me.”
[A power couple with equally distinguished status and backgrounds. They use each other at first, but eventually their feelings become mutual. There is no angst in this story; the focus is on the plot and their sweet romance.]
It's beautiful. I hope I can see the heroine's past soon.
