Synopsis

The Great Yan cavalry storms the royal city. Li Zhiming, the crown prince of a fallen kingdom, is poisoned with a toxin that eats away at his bones, but is saved by Chengjing, a young orphan girl. At Ku Chan Temple, she wipes the blood from his face and feeds him, while he teaches her to practice boxing and copy sutras beneath a ginkgo tree. They cut their palms and swear an oath: “In heaven or hell, in life or death, we will never betray each other.”

The Yan army massacres the temple, and Li Zhiming falls from a cliff. Reborn with both Buddha and demon within him, he sets out to find her. Before a solitary hermitage in the snowy mountains, her memories are sealed, and she becomes a saintess at the mercy of others.

“Brother Zhiming, don't look for me... Forget me.”

“Heaven and earth are my witnesses. You belong to me. Who dares make you forget?”

Looking for High-Quality Historical Romance!

Lately I’ve been looking for an ancient-era romance with realistic, detailed descriptions of everyday life, but it’s so hard to find. I don’t need some grand epic. I just want to read about the daily lives of women in ancient times.

High-Quality Historical Romance Novels!!!

Something like "The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus", "Attack Jade", or "How Is This Proper"? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.
