[Traditional historical romance. No rebirth, no transmigration. Fast-paced plot, with more focus on the story than description.]
The yellow sands stretch across the desert, a homeland she can never return to.
Though a thousand miles of mountains and rivers lie between them, it is the Jiangnan of her dreams.
Amid the desert’s red tassels, singing and drinking freely, Chen Yin, the legitimate daughter of the Great General Who Guards the North, grew up living life on her own terms. By a twist of fate, she was drawn into political struggles because of the Third Prince, her childhood sweetheart. Amid the maelstrom of imperial power, she gave way and endured in silence, all to protect the common people, and him.
But gradually, she realized that in his heart, she was nothing more than a tool to be used, someone he could discard and abandon at any moment. Perhaps he did love her a little, but his love came with conditions and limits.
After seeing with her own eyes how the boy who set out to slay the dragon became a dragon himself, she stopped holding back and found the courage to be herself.
At this crossroads in her life, what should she choose?
Should she take revenge, scheme at every turn, and make him lose everything he holds dear… or let go of her hatred, live bravely, and spend a peaceful life with the one she loves?
Naturally, she wants it all. A general’s daughter would never waste away over a man. Push her too far, and she’ll only demand more…
“May your kingdom enjoy peace and prosperity, and may harmony reign throughout the land.”
