Hua Xiyan

Life is like the morning dew, gone in the blink of an eye.

The evening glory, a drifting flower, blooms at dusk and withers by morning. Even with beauty that could dazzle an age, it can only bloom alone.

This book tells the story of Bilu, a princess of a fallen kingdom who wanders among common folk before returning to the palace. Like an evening glory, she experiences love and loss, joy and sorrow, and a tangled web of grudges and affections amid the chaos of war.

Among these outstanding men, the royal consort, the general, the junior minister, and the emperor, who is the princess's true love?

The story also weaves in palace and household intrigue, the rise and fall of dynasties, revenge, and repayment of kindness.

This book is also known as A Good Man, An Angel Among Mortals, A Heart of Revenge, The Moon Shines on the Frontier, The Tale of Princess Bilu, The Wind Sweeps Fallen Blossoms from the Vermilion Tower, and others.
