(Dynastic struggles + political intrigue + genius protagonist + martial world + one female lead + no transmigration or rebirth)
Qi Ziyu remembers the pride he felt before the age of seventeen, when he was a prince of Southern Tang: peerless martial talent, swordsmanship that dominated his era, and the admiration of countless subjects.
Su Zhiyi remembers the happiness she knew before the age of eighteen, when she was a princess of Qian: her father's affection, her childhood sweetheart's devotion, and the admiration of talented young men.
But beautiful things are often all too fragile, and fate never easily favors everyone.
A coup in Southern Tang turns a once-brilliant young prodigy into a murderous fiend;
her father's grave illness reduces a princess born under a heavenly destiny to a pawn of power.
When a prince of Southern Tang becomes a princess of Qian's swordsmanship teacher,
when a peerless prodigy in hiding meets a breathtakingly beautiful woman blessed by fate,
is it a matter of destiny, or the will of heaven?
It all begins with that snowfall.
A gentleman as lovely as jade, peerless in all the world.
Most people call me “Your Highness,”
but all I want is to hear you call me “Young Master.”
