Flowers of the Morning, Untouched by Dust

Also known as The Splendor of the Flourishing Capital I’ve always wanted to write a book that “seems like candy in your mouth, but when you bite down, it’s all shards of glass” (wicked grin). This is the one~ 【A Match Made by Heaven】Su Wanrong, the illegitimate daughter of a fifth-rank Court Scribe. To achieve her own ends, she takes another woman’s place in marriage and enters the Duke of Qi’s household. A cold girl meets a rebellious boy, and they are destined to fall for each other! But the once-mighty Duke of Qi’s household suddenly becomes the target of everyone’s hostility, with its collapse looming. How cruelly fate toys with them: all she can do is furrow her brow and sigh. Only now do I believe that even the finest things in life are imperfect. Even after they reunite following the calamity, their hearts remain unsettled. 【The Joys and Sorrows of the Mortal World】The currents of the times sweep everyone’s fate along with them. In the splendid days of old, the halls were filled with pearls and jade; the Qi family’s women, adorned in fine hairpins and robes, each lived a tale of joy and sorrow. 【The Realm and the Nation】The young burn with passion, their swords aimed at the Northern Pass. In the cold night, dreams return to the encampment. One man can hold the pass, but no one can overcome the trials of love.
