[Historical romance, childhood sweethearts, political intrigue, noble ladies, ensemble cast, and a second male lead who is mildly possessive] This is my first time writing a story, so the prose in the first few chapters is rough and the blurb doesn't do it justice. Please give the story itself a chance, and forgive any shortcomings.
Lively, clever young princess x dashing young general
Before her coming-of-age ceremony, Ji Mingchun had everything she could wish for. At a lantern festival, the young general who had grown up with her confessed his feelings.
Mingchun: Is this right?
Her friends and family were happy to see them together. Well, actually, she liked him quite a bit too.
After they married, it all seemed to happen in a single night: Ning Yan died in battle.
Her older, gentle, reserved "cousin" told her, "A Chun, turn around and look at me. I knew you first."
She was terrified, but no one was left to stand up for her.
When she closed her eyes,
perhaps when she woke, she would see everyone as they had once been, living without restraint.
It looks alright so far.
