Frost at the Temples: Snowfall Gathers Longing

[Dark, Crazed Puppy x Bright and Noble Crown Princess]

[Ci Pai Series, Part Four: The Qiang Kingdom]

[Dark Rebel Empress + Crown Princess of the Previous Dynasty + Palace and Household Intrigue + Mad Devoted Simp + Twisted, Crawling Love] Note: Not mutually exclusive; the Empress is a virgin, the Crown Princess is not.

This story is also known as [Imperial Sister-in-Law].

Mei Jianxue was the Crown Princess of the Qiang Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happened, she would become its future empress. That was the path her life was meant to follow, but everything later went astray.

In the thirty-eighth year of Long'an, the rebel army marched straight for the capital.

The Crown Prince led the defense and died on the battlefield.

The rebel leader captured the capital, killed Emperor Long'an, and declared himself emperor.

In the ruined imperial city, she saw the fearsome new ruler approaching her step by step.

Countless times in her dreams, she had imagined how she would meet her sister-in-law again.

Mu Nanzhi had waited so long for this day that, when she finally saw her sister-in-law, she was almost afraid.

Across the crowd, she spotted the woman slumped on the ground at a glance.

In that instant, blood surged through every inch of Mu Nanzhi's body, roaring with the desire to pull the woman who had haunted her thoughts into her arms.

That was what Mu Nanzhi wanted, and that was what she did.

“Sister-in-law, it's been a long time.”

The voice by her ear was familiar, yet somehow strange. But the words “Sister-in-law” made Mei Jianxue think, in a daze, of someone from her past.

Someone who should have been dead long ago.
