In a turbulent age of shifting fortunes and hidden schemes, she was the lost jewel of Great Sheng, Shen Ruoxi.
Born at a time of national crisis, she lost her empress mother and drifted like duckweed into a foreign land. Fortunately, she was saved by Chu Yucheng, crown prince of Southern Liang. From then on, she became his childhood companion, a little shadow he doted on as she grew up. At eight years old, she clung to him with her delicately pretty face tilted up, innocently asking to marry him. It was the purest, most naive dream of her first awakening feelings. Later, after many twists of fate, she was found and returned to her homeland, becoming Great Sheng's most beloved Princess Yaohui.
But when she was sixteen, Great Sheng was defeated. She became a political bargaining chip, sent to Northern Yuan for a marriage alliance and made the wife of a crown prince she'd never met, Ji Yunyan.
Ji Yunyan was stern, imposing, and unfathomable. What began as a political marriage slowly drew them closer through their daily life together and the whirlpool of power, until deep, quiet feelings took root.
Years later, when she met Chu Yucheng again as the crown princess of Northern Yuan, they were no longer the people they had once been.
Amid the schemes and power struggles of a turbulent age, Shen Ruoxi and Ji Yunyan stood shoulder to shoulder, witnessing the fires of war and spending the rest of their long lives together.
The whole story is concise and to the point. It's a good read with no scheming or misunderstandings. The male and female leads are talkative, and the female lead is the darling of the group. 🥰🥰🥰
