Synopsis

Su Ji'an's spiritual meridians are depleted, and her lifespan is capped at eighteen. Quietly waiting to die is her only ambition.

A kidnapping shatters the peace. In the next room is a white-robed scholar who claims to be the son of a wealthy merchant, putting on a panicked act.

Su Ji'an sees right through him: he's pretending too.

The two of them team up to stage a hostage ransom, fool the kidnappers, and narrowly escape. She thinks their paths will never cross again, but fate pushes her into Jianyuntai, a secretive government agency. There, she learns by chance that she is the orphaned daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who died defending his country, and finds a sliver of hope for extending her life.

She thinks he is the only warmth she has in this world.

But when the layers of fog finally clear, a shocking scheme is laid bare. From their first meeting to the moment they fell in love and pledged themselves to each other, everything had been part of a sacrificial game. She and he were nothing but two pawns for others to move at will.

When a graceful, solitary woman who has accepted death and only wants a peaceful life

meets the son of a disgraced official, burdened by the wrongful accusations against his entire family,

the pawns refuse to accept their fate.

Then they will join hands, tear apart the whole conspiracy, hold fast to their convictions amid a storm-tossed age, and seek a life of peace and clarity.

And, of course, they can occasionally trade poems and flirt, too

“Last night, soft winds and fine rain; blossoms drifted freely into dreams. Don’t wait for the morning sun to dry the overnight rain. Now that I’ve met you, what have I to fear from autumn’s chill?”

“This morning, pale mist and a faint chill; fallen leaves stirred by the wind. I hold my blue umbrella and wait for the clouds to part. If you come, my love, all sorrow will fade.”

[A graceful, serene, resilient, and clever heroine × a bright, handsome, witty, and sincere hero]

[Two equally matched leads, drawn to each other | Fated salvation | Everyone grows | Happy ending]

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂

I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.
