My Fair Princess Is a Pearl Even Away from Home

This is an untold prequel to My Fair Princess:

“There are no grasslands here, and she’s a wild horse that won’t be reined in!” Lively little Xiao Yanzi sets out to roam the martial world, embarking on one extraordinary tale of her origins after another.

“Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?!” She arrives with Ziwei, ready to teach that heartless man Qianlong a lesson!

The Fang family has been wronged, the Xia family has been dragged into it, and the Liu family’s buns are delicious, yet they’ve sworn brotherhood with Qianlong! The uproar shakes the world, and the mastermind behind it all turns out to be Lord Heshen!

Just look: the little girl with her hair in twin buns and a willow leaf between her teeth calls herself “Xiao Yanzi.” She climbs trees to raid bird nests and wades into rivers to catch fish and shrimp, yet insists, thumping her chest, “I’ll protect you.” Ziwei, meanwhile, carries half a copy of The Book of Songs and quotes classical texts even when arguing, but when local thugs corner Xiao Yanzi, she flings the book at them with red-rimmed eyes.

One is tossed about the martial world and nurtured by a sense of justice; the other grows up in a quiet alley, steeped in talent and learning. North and south, wild and gentle, they have never met, yet the threads of fate have already bound them tightly together.

This book tells of Xiao Yanzi’s redemption in the martial world, Ziwei’s determination to find her father, and all the brilliance and longing hidden in everyday life before the two pearls ever entered the palace!

When lotus flowers blanket Daming Lake and kindred spirits meet along the roads of the martial world, they will finally find each other. Come join them on a legendary journey to the Forbidden City.
