The Heroism of Their Girlhood

Modern-minded young lady x old-fashioned imperial princess

Two female leads + romance + mutual salvation + Republican era + ensemble cast + happy ending + historical research + female growth + progressive independence + strong heroine + slow burn

They never thought their paths would cross in this lifetime. What could a quirky young heiress and a princess from the former Qing palace possibly have to talk about, even if their families were neighbors?

But fate has a way of surprising you. They met, fell in love, and stayed together for life.

She is the ship of the Dead Sea; she is the storm on the open ocean.

Say hello, and in the end, don’t say goodbye.

Historically researched, with multiple plotlines running in parallel and extensive references to real events and historical figures. Don’t read if you want something you can switch your brain off to. It’s a slow burn, but things gradually heat up after Yang Jin joins the organization.
