Both leads are virgins + pure ancient romance, no transmigration + political intrigue + age gap
Jiang Yuanqing was born into a distinguished family. As the Jiang family’s eldest legitimate daughter, she has a father who is one of the most prominent officials in the Great Yue court. Sadly, her birth mother died young, and her stepmother, Princess Yongning, treats her coldly. She only hopes to get through each day as it comes.
The dashing Prince Yan, riding past that day, is the first man to stir her heart in her seventeen years of life.
But Prince Yan is her stepmother’s younger brother, so she has to call him Uncle.
Later, she is forced into marriage, only for her husband’s family to be slaughtered on their wedding night.
She escapes death, and the man she is meant to call Uncle saves her life. He also rescues her from a future whose end she can already see.
