Name: Moonlight on Frost
Author: Chen Xiaodan

Synopsis

When Gu Wanxi was seven, her mother died of an illness.

On her deathbed, she pressed a silver bracelet into Gu Wanxi’s palm. “Go find your father. His name is Gu Huai’an, and he’s in the capital.”

Gu Wanxi waited eight years. She walked from Qingping County to the capital, waiting from the age of seven until she was fifteen. At last, she saved enough for the journey and knocked on the gates of the Marquis of Yong’an’s residence.

Her father recognized the bracelet and knelt to beg her: “Just say you’re the daughter of my eldest brother.”

And so his biological daughter became “the country cousin who came to seek refuge with the marquis’s household.”

She was put up in a side room, without a maid or a brazier. She watched her father dote on his stepchildren, and her stepmother treat her future marriage as a business deal.

The intended match was Prince Qing.

He went to war at sixteen, lost the use of his legs at twenty, and shut himself away from the world.

No young woman in the capital wanted to marry him.

But to secure her father’s standing at court, her stepmother petitioned the emperor to marry her to Prince Qing, and her father silently agreed…

Everyone thought the country girl would be tormented to death by the violent madman.

But no one knew that when the bridal sedan’s curtain was lifted, the man in the wheelchair gazed at her for a long time before saying just one thing:

“Don’t be afraid.”

Two people abandoned by the whole world became each other’s only way out.

She didn’t know he had already uncovered her true identity, but was waiting for her to tell him herself.

He didn’t know that the moment she first stepped into his residence, she thought, So there is someone in this world even lonelier than I am.

He thought no one would ever come close to him again.

She thought no one would ever care about her again.

Until they became each other’s light.

Pure Historical Fiction, No Rebirth or Transmigration

I want sweet, doting romance, no angst. I'm very sensitive and can't handle tragic stories.

So Many Great New Books Lately!

I've discovered lots of great new books, most of them by debut authors. They're really good, and the ratio of female to male characters is pretty balanced.

There is no nonsense, the story is compact and the plot is reasonable.

With very real and delicate writing, two people in the darkness welcome the light that illuminates each other. One is a young general whose parents died early and his leg was seriously injured. The other is a little girl whose mother died early and her father dare not recognize her. The two unloved people hugged each other for warmth and made each other feel like home for the first time. And there are also simple and kind-hearted people around them, such as Shangshu's family, chef Sun Desheng... They are all honest and kind-hearted people, adding a lot of life to the story. There is also the cute and a bit weird Rhubarb. I guess the author is also a person who likes animals. It is very interesting to use the cat's behavior to reflect the mood of the character.

It's a very warm and ordinary happiness, a long-lasting love, and I felt so peaceful after reading it. From the first look, it seems that the male and female protagonists eat cabbage, pork dumplings and lotus root and pork ribs soup for every meal. They are the same all year round. The dialogues "Too much to eat" and "Too much to eat tomorrow morning" also appeared many times. Overall, I felt very comfortable after watching it.

It tells the story of a man who lost his mother at a young age and relied on perseverance to find a father he had never met. But his father did not dare to recognize him, and he was used as a tool to curry favor with the powerful. Looking forward to more exciting follow-up...
