“My little Miaojiang Saint, in the end, he didn’t live to see his coming-of-age year…”
Jun Lingchen × Li Nanxi “Simple-minded” prince × Saint with a blood feud
“What you have to do is get me back to the cage that holds my Holy Mother, no matter the cost. Isn’t that right, Your Highness, the honorable First Prince?”
Jun Lingchen is ordered to seek out the Little Saintess in the mysterious and dangerous lands of Nanjiang. He doesn’t know why; he only knows that if he succeeds and the Saintess is still alive, he can become Crown Prince and rescue his own mother. But when he meets the Saint in red, spirited and dazzling, that fragile, aloof air draws him in. He wants to strip away that lively shell and protect him… Yet he gradually realizes that an intense emotion is taking root in those unusual eyes. It seems like love, and yet it also seems like hatred. Only later does he discover that this mission is far more complicated than he imagined…
“Father, do you feel no guilt at all toward the Saintess?”
“Nan, the southern sun blows like wings; Xi, jade as calm as a rock. My little Saint, your name will be Nanxi… Let me take another good look at you… All right, take him away now. Go! Hurry! Return to the southern border and protect him well!”
“Nanxi, Nanxi, may your whole life be smooth, simple, and beautiful. Hahahahaha… But, Holy Mother, my surname is Li… I’m sorry, Mother. I can’t turn back now. I’ll be coming to join you soon…”
It can’t quite be called a bad ending, though it is one. With a blood feud between them, no matter how things turn out, there can be no perfect solution…
