Synopsis

The print edition is available on major platforms.

[Pure historical romance + devoted couple + strong female lead + marriage before love + political intrigue + household rivalry]

[Long-suffering princess of a fallen kingdom] X [scheming, rough-hewn prince]

[Original title: The Enigma of Linglong]

“A historical-romance version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith: outwardly united, secretly plotting against each other.”

To seize power, Linglong spent sixteen years disguised as a young master named Ling, studying hard and honing her skills.

Though her kingdom fell, its mountains and rivers remained. The young eunuch who had grown up with her became a scapegoat, and Linglong was forced to flee.

By a twist of fate, under the assumed name Huo Linglong, she took the place of Huo Wengong's daughter and married the infamous Prince Nanxiao of another kingdom.

On their wedding night, Qiu Jinyu showed her no tenderness.

“If it hurts, endure it. I have no patience for all that fussy foreplay.”

Linglong gritted her teeth and bore it, thinking that a man with such a gentle name was a waste.

Gradually, Qiu Jinyu realized that his new princess was not nearly as dull as he had once thought. Before long, he was willingly bending over backward for her.

From then on, the young couple stood together through every trial, resolving crises, repairing what had been broken, and uncovering the mysteries of each other's past. After countless hardships, they finally fulfilled the vow made on their wedding night: to love and trust each other without a trace of doubt.

Years later, Qiu Jinyu sat crouched outside the bedroom, racking his brains over why he had been kicked out for the night.

The guards who had served the couple for years could only look at one another and shrug.

There was nothing they could do. They couldn't beat the princess.

The Linglong dice are speckled with red beans. I confide to you the longing that has sunk into my bones.

I've been reading for years, and this is the first time I've tipped a book. The author's descriptions of certain scenes are truly vivid and engaging, making for a thoroughly enjoyable read! Most importantly, the novel's plot is captivating; it's definitely a 9.5 Or higher caliber!

So beautiful! So beautiful! Keep it up! The rating shouldn't be this low; please recommend it. Of the five or six books on my bookshelf that I'm following, this one is the second, or even the first, that I'm eagerly awaiting to have updated! The author's writing is good, with no typos, and the paragraph length is to my liking (some articles have paragraphs with many words, which makes me dizzy).

It's a good show. The female lead is brave, resourceful, and good at assessing situations. The plot is also very good. Also: I am very puzzled as the crown prince of a country, why does Prince Ling not have any trusted confidants or secret guards by his side?

A war goddess, originally a woman from a previous dynasty, is mistakenly married to a war king in his place—a truly perfect match, a lighthearted and humorous story. The author's characters are delicately portrayed, their inner thoughts rich, and the humor is excellent. The descriptions of the prince's feelings are particularly well done.

The characters are vividly portrayed, each with their own distinct traits, and everyone is intelligent. The plot is full of twists and turns. The only downside is that waiting for updates every day is quite tiring. I'm really looking forward to the author releasing even more chapters! 🤭

A rugged prince and an androgynous princess, a good read.

It's super good! The plot is original and doesn't follow any clichés. I came across this book from another one by the same author. The author's writing skills are excellent. Keep up the good work! The author updates at midnight every day, could you please update a little earlier?

I wanted to give it 4.5 Stars, but I can't. Although it's good, it's not perfect, so I can't give it five stars. The male protagonist in this story is my favorite among all the books I've read. He's real, straightforward, affectionate, and devoted.

This is a book that has been buried by big data; if you discover it, you definitely need to read it! Add it to your bookshelf! This is a pure ancient romance novel, without time travel or rebirth, and without any melodramatic or mindless plot twists. The author seems to place the reader in this period of history, allowing them to understand the stories and figures within it.

I personally think such a good book shouldn't have such a low rating. The plot is fast-paced, and both the male and female leads are intelligent and assertive. The male lead, in particular, has a very generous, carefree, and unpretentious personality—it's rare to find a male lead like him.
