Chang Yuqingyun

That spring, the apricot blossoms at Prince Lin’an’s residence fell like rain.

Five-year-old Princess Zhao Yunjun, like the most lively ray of spring sunshine, placed a handful of fragrant, soft apricot petals into the hands of a boy with cool, distant eyes, dressed all in white.

He was Lu Boyue, young master of the Protector General’s residence, courtesy name Changyu.

His family was renowned for its military service, but had also suffered profound loss. His father had died on the battlefield, and his most beloved elder brother had returned wrapped in his armor. Though only seven, his heart was already steeped in grief and loneliness, like an ancient well gone still.

One first meeting, one promise, “Can I be your friend from now on?”, a piece of osmanthus candy sweet enough to melt his heart, a little brocade pouch holding the scent of spring… With her sweet smile and fearlessness in the face of his icy demeanor, the little princess quietly knocked on the door of his tightly closed heart, bringing a warmth he could not refuse.

From then on, he became her silent yet steadfast protector, while she was the only blazing ray of sunshine in his life.

As the years passed, she grew from an innocent, adorable little princess into a bright and beautiful young woman. He grew from an aloof, solitary boy into a handsome and exceptionally accomplished gentleman, skilled in both letters and arms.

Countless talented young men in the capital admired the princess, including Lin Buyi, the Minister of Revenue’s grandson, who treated her with gentle consideration. And there were also young ladies who secretly cherished the young master of the Lu family and tried every way to sound him out.

Yet in their eyes, there was room for no one but each other.

This is a profound love whose ties were destined from childhood.

This is a sweet romance about a heart that belongs to only one person: “No other cloud can compare to the one over Mount Wu.”

See how the little princess melts the ice with her tenderness, and how Young Master Lu protects her all his life, giving her a lifetime of deep devotion.
