[One-on-one romance + devoted to each other + equally strong leads + marriage before love + palace and household intrigue + lovesick male lead + mildly coercive romance]
Chen Qingci, the eldest princess of Chen, is sent by the emperor to the Northern Dynasty for a political marriage, at the urging of her younger half-sister Chen Zhiyin and Consort Xuan Yue.
At their very first meeting, Qian Yuan’an, regent of the Northern Dynasty, forcefully asks for her hand in marriage. Is it love at first sight, or has he been plotting this all along?
Later, Qian Yuan’an accompanies Chen Qingci back to Chen to visit her family. Though their love for each other grows wildly, they dare not admit it because their countries are enemies. When Chen Qingci is sabotaged by Consort Xuan of Chen and falls off a cliff, Qian Yuan’an goes mad with rage and wants to slaughter the entire kingdom of Chen.
When they meet again three years later, Chen Qingci has lost her memories and appears in his world as an ordinary woman. Having once lost her, he hesitates no longer once he confirms who she is. He claims her with fierce determination and treasures her above all else.
The regent vs. The princess. The subject matter is novel and the content is rich. It is a very interesting book. First review with five stars to show your appreciation 🤭
