A Beauty's Regret

[A power couple + personal growth + slow-burn romance + helping each other grow and find salvation]

Everyone says that a woman’s duty is to support her husband, raise children, and carry on the family line.

But does doing something the way it has always been done make it right?

Though Song Ci is a woman, she has courage beyond that of ordinary people and exceptional skills. At just ten years old, she made a name for herself among the twelve tribes of Northern Hu through the Battle of Tianlang.

“I’ve heard your spear work is fierce and unpredictable. I imagine you’d be a dazzling sight on the battlefield. Sadly, I’ve never had the chance to witness your skill.”

“What’s so hard about that? I’ll perform for you.”

After spending several days together in the plum grove, the young woman’s heart began to stir. But then, in an instant, that person became the wise and virtuous heir everyone talked about.

When the lie was exposed, Song Ci looked at the young man before her and could only feel scorn.

When they met again, Song Ci wore white as bright as snow, her gaze utterly indifferent. She knelt and called out, “I, your humble servant Song Ci, pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live for a thousand years, for thousands upon thousands of years!”

…

P.S.

This story has a slow pace and focuses on the heroine’s growth. It mainly tells the story of that era and follows Song Ci through her life, so there may be some heartbreaking moments along the way. If that’s not for you, feel free to drop it.
