[Hypocritical, unhinged male lead, southern frontier Gu magic, legitimate eldest daughter building a career, overarching plot plus episodic arcs]
The many-secret-identities hidden dragon of the southern frontier, a younger brother X the general’s eldest daughter, a hostage in Chang’an, his older sister
[No matter who I am or what identity I bear, you are the only one I hold dear and worry about.]
Pei Yu is the eldest daughter of Qing’s great general. While her father campaigned across the land during her childhood, she was raised under the Empress’s care, where she befriended Crown Prince Qing Ju’an and his study companion, Jiang Zhaochen.
Then came a palace coup, and the Empress’s residence became a blazing hell. Empress Wu, whom Pei Yu had regarded as a mother, was branded a demon empress by the rebels and fell beneath their blades. Her old friends were torn apart by death or scattered across the martial world.
Old acquaintances left and new ones arrived. The sealed history should have remained buried, but his appearance brought it back into the light...
“The sins buried deep in history will eventually be cleansed. If they can’t be cleansed, then let future generations fight over them until they’re bloodied.”
Beneath the sunny young man’s face from the southern frontier lurks an obsessive, ruthless, and twisted crown prince.
It seems like a healing romance in which a sunny male lead saves a sensitive heroine, but in truth, these two stubborn, broken people are locked in a battle of wills…
