At the very moment Consort Yu hung a length of white silk from the rafters, Xiao Yanzi rushed to save her without a second thought, driven purely by instinct. She rescued the elder who had so often spoken harshly to her: Yongqi's mother, and the weakness of the man she loved.
This heart-stopping rescue was like a stone cast into a lake, utterly disrupting the Forbidden City's peace.
Consort Yu's desperate act forced Yongqi to confront, for the first time, his mother's rejection of Xiao Yanzi's identity as a princess. It also made him realize that his love for Xiao Yanzi had long since taken root deep in his heart, leaving no room for retreat.
And Xiao Yanzi, the commoner who had entered the palace by accident, became even more determined to face everything alongside Yongqi after witnessing the stifling warmth and coldness of palace life.
Yongqi was no longer the Fifth Prince, trapped by filial duty and responsibility. He learned to find balance between imperial authority and love, and to build a safe haven for Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi, too, was no longer the reckless girl who only caused trouble. With her sincerity, she slowly melted the ice in Consort Yu's heart, becoming the brightest light in a harem governed by strict rules.
When undercurrents of political intrigue meet frank sincerity, and the constraints of royalty clash with an untamed spirit, Yongqi and Xiao Yanzi's love is no longer about running away and wandering. Instead, they choose to put down roots where they are.
Together, they overcome one crisis after another, using genuine devotion to resist the shackles of propriety and proving through their unwavering loyalty that Yan returns to her nest, and Qi stays by her side.
I like it very much. I hope you will continue to recommend more books in the future.
Very beautiful and great!
