The Splendor of the Phoenix

[Devoted to each other + historical romance + love grows over time]

Lin'an Princess Lu Zhiyi is the most dazzling paradox in Shengjing. Everyone says that a phoenix raised in the Prince of Zhenbei's residence should roost in the branches of a parasol tree, yet she refuses to take even one step into the palace or a prince's manor.

Yet her free spirit falls for Prince Chen, Jiang Huaizhi.

One is outwardly gentle and considerate, yet inwardly yearns for freedom, bright and bold.

The other has reined in his ferocity, relentlessly pursuing the one he loves with tenderness and determination.

One unexpected turn after another, and one advance after another, bind Lu Zhiyi and Prince Chen Jiang Huaizhi's fates ever more tightly together.

“After all, what traps a phoenix is never a gilded cage. It is a heart willing to melt its golden lock to brew her tea in the snow.”

And that's not all:

A young general and a princess, the emperor's white moonlight, a prince and his guard,

an arrogant young county princess and a cool, reserved top scholar,

and a female physician with progressive ideas and the conservative prime minister's legitimate son.

This story is full of love and hatred, and also heralds the rise of women.

Which couple do you like best?
