[Qing Dynasty + Prophetic Dreams + Both Leads Are Each Other's First + Sweet Romance]
Since the age of four, Ulanara Lingyi has repeatedly dreamed of her miserable fate: a cold husband, domineering concubines, and an eventual death in lonely, childless desolation. Able to foresee the future, she refuses to accept her fate. Outwardly, she observes the rules of a proper noblewoman, but inwardly, she plots her escape.
She studies Western languages and learns about the world, yearning with all her heart to sail toward her own sea of stars.
The Fourth Prince, whose fate is entwined with hers, has suffered from an intense fear of women since childhood. He loathes all touch, except hers. He sees her as the only oasis in his emotional desert and stubbornly draws near, possessing her with near-obsessive intensity. He believes that holding on tight is love.
One desperately wants to fly; the other stubbornly wants her to stay.
He gives her Western books and grants her the power to help govern the world, yet he cannot understand the undying longing in her eyes.
She is his only source of stability amid political storms, and the sole weakness in his rationally governed realm.
Until her heart sinks into sorrow and she takes to her bed, gravely ill.
At last, he understands the unquenchable flame deep in her soul, and she, too, sees the awkward sincerity hidden beneath his silent restraint.
"Lingyi," he says, crushing his own obsession and personally securing a route for her to reach the world, "your world should not be confined within these palace walls."
Looking back, she sees that the once-possessive Fourth Prince has finally learned that love means letting someone flourish.
--Many years later, the Forbidden City bears witness to the legend of two rulers sharing the court.
One is the Yongzheng Emperor, a bold reformer who rules with an iron hand.
The other is Empress Ulanara, learned in Western studies and an adviser in state affairs.
They are no longer anyone's subordinates, but partners who fight side by side.
Nice! It suits me! I just want to be the only favorite of Shuang Jie. The original heroine is the Sifujin in history. My favorite is the Qing Chuan novel about the main wife. Please keep updating and don't stop updating. I look forward to seeing the end!
I found a new book. The setting of the novel is very novel. I am looking forward to the changes of the heroine in the later period. It is worth reading and don't ruin the character!
Looks great! Big boost to the author!
Looks good, just what I like.
