Synopsis

I am Shen Qinghuan, the youngest daughter of Shen Mingyuan, the prime minister of the dynasty. As for my family background, we’re among the most illustrious families in the capital. My father is the prime minister, an incorruptible official who grew up alongside His Majesty. My mother comes from a prominent family in Jiangnan and has a gentle disposition. She was also a gifted young woman in her day. My maternal grandfather was the former crown prince’s tutor, and his students are now found throughout the land. My older brother, Shen Qingyuan, became a young general renowned along the border at an early age, while my older sister, Shen Qingwan, is a celebrated beauty and talent in the capital, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As for me... well, in my wet nurse’s words, I’m a “little troublemaker who never lets anyone rest easy.” That wasn’t far from the truth. Ever since I was little, I’d been more lively and energetic than other girls. I could climb trees and raid birds’ nests at five, and ride horses and shoot arrows at seven. Mother often said I’d inherited my temperament from Grandfather: I had the pride of a Jiangnan aristocrat in my bones, yet I valued loyalty more than anyone. I remember that Mid-Autumn Festival when I was only five. Father took me to a palace banquet. It was my first time in the palace, and the glittering halls dazzled me. While the adults drank and admired the moon inside, the scent of osmanthus outside captivated me. The moment my wet nurse looked away, I slipped out. And that was how I met the people who would change my life. At the time, I had no idea what kind of upheaval the arrogant prince who was bullying someone beneath an osmanthus tree, and the foreign hostage who remained graceful despite being bullied, would bring to my life. If I’d known what would happen later, would I still have rushed out without hesitation on that moonlit night? I think I would have.

The first-person heroine's book has beautiful writing. It gives you a refreshing feeling after reading prose. It's okay to write dialogues between ordinary people, but the emperor's speech sounds a bit heavy on modern people, almost like a principal's speech [face covering] Come on, author, keep at it!

It starts with a lively scene of Shen Qinghuan, the daughter of the prime minister, climbing a tree and picking persimmons. It uses delicate descriptions of the environment to interact with the characters, outlining a warm family atmosphere. The protagonist's naughty behavior of "climbing a tree to be scolded" is in sharp contrast with his mother's anger, his brother's pampering, and his sister's gentleness, and vivid characters emerge vividly on the page. There are hidden foreshadowings in the seemingly relaxed daily conversations between the lines. The mother's mention of the "Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet" and "the selection of concubines by the three princes" quietly intertwined family warmth with palace intrigues, laying the tension for the subsequent plot. The contrast between "innocence" and "twist of fate" not only retains the innocent perspective of the girl, but also vaguely reveals the sense of crisis that is about to come. It has the right balance between warmth and suspense, showing the delicate charm of ancient romance themes. It is worth watching, five-star recommendation!
