Peace and Happiness with Ning

Come, good readers, and hear the tale! They say the loyal and righteous Nan Rong Ning lived a life like a legendary scroll: twice she wore a phoenix crown and wedding robes, first marrying a living dead man, then a dead one. Her devotion defied all reason and left generations to marvel.

The heroine, Nan Rong Ning, came from a humble family. She fell in love at first sight with Gongyi Cong, the young marquis heir of the prestigious Gongyi clan, one of the three great houses, and secretly gave him her heart. But their family backgrounds and social standing were worlds apart. In a society so full of complications, what could Nan Rong Ning do when the man she loved belonged to a different class?

The mad second female lead, Zuo Qiu Beijia, was a beauty seen once in a century, proud and ambitious, with nothing in her eyes but power and calculation. “Sincerity and love are the most useless things in this world. Power is the only way. I will stand atop that tower and watch every one of you grovel at my feet!”

The hero, Gongyi Cong, his eyes bloodshot, cried, “A Ning, I was terribly wrong. A Ning, please give me one more chance. I'll hold my prayer beads and kneel until my forehead is bruised, all for the chance that you'll return safely. This time, let me protect you.”

The devoted second male lead, Xianyu Hui, Prince Yi, was the late emperor's beloved youngest son and the current Prince Yi. One dance beneath the moon was all it took for him to fall in love. When Nan Rong Ning gave her heart to Gongyi Cong, she had no idea that someone beside her had also fallen deeply in love. A pair of tender eyes watched her in silence, full of admiration. “Ningning, I love you so much. Could you turn around and look at me?”

Years later, red silk and white funeral banners hung along Vermilion Bird Street, and pale satin wrapped the golden coffin. Wearing her phoenix crown and wedding robes, Nan Rong Ning walked barefoot over a street strewn with funeral paper. Her pale fingertips clutched the coffin as she murmured, “I've come to marry you. This time, I am your bride, wed with full ceremony...”
