Half-Awake in Crimson Finery

An imperial decree binds Su Xiaoxiao, the orphaned daughter of a military family who roams the martial world at will, to Chu Ye, the cold-faced prince who wields power over the entire court.

A written contract stipulates that they will divorce after one year and go their separate ways.

She thinks it is a deal in which each gets what they need; he thinks it is a carefully laid game.

But her playful, cunning nature proves a sharp blade that breaks through his defenses, while his steady respect becomes the firmest refuge she could ask for.

From “Prince Chu” to “my husband,” from “Miss Su” to “my wife, Xiaoxiao,” amid courtly storms and surging undercurrents, they ultimately save one another.
