The Only Top Scholar Consort in History: A Fateful Romance in Chang’an

The only top-scoring scholar in history to become a princess’s husband. A fateful encounter in Chang’an sends him searching for the princess of his dreams. Through the reigns of several emperors, he shares moonlit moments with each emperor’s daughter. In his quest to get close to a princess, he becomes entangled with the emperor’s favorite consort, studies under great scholars and distinguished men, gets caught up with corrupt eunuchs and their cabal, and makes enemies of powerful court officials. The first volume follows the male lead’s growth, with Tang Dynasty music, song, and dance as its central thread. At least 1,500 years ago, the Han people tried various ways to record sounds, music, and songs in books for posterity. With the passage of time, very few works from the Tang Dynasty and earlier have survived, and even fewer can be understood by modern readers. As for dance, it has not been possible to pass it down intact!
