[Traditional historical romance, palace maid x emperor]
“May your heart be true to mine, and may our love never be in vain.”
Shi Yan and Lin Yan were childhood sweethearts. After a family tragedy, Lin Yan became Jiangxue. She knew only that she was Shi Yan’s maid. As the years passed, they fell in love, but their difference in status kept their families from accepting the relationship. Later, Jiangxue entered the palace as a maid and met the emperor.
Jiangxue thought she would never see Shi Yan again, but fate brought them together at last. When she later fell unconscious, she murmured to herself:
“Your Highness…”
Only then did the emperor realize that the woman Shi Yan had long yearned for was the very woman he had fallen in love with.
