A story of personal growth, with no expectations of wifely submission or chastity monuments. This is not a wish-fulfillment story, so read with care if that’s what you’re looking for!
The heroine is sent to Beishuo as a bride for peace. Ten years later, she returns to the Southern Dynasty, where the hero leads the civil and military officials in welcoming her home. The princess hopes to lie flat and enjoy her life: drink wine, watch performances, and keep a few handsome young lovers... But the hero can’t stand by and watch! He has been laying the groundwork for a long time and will sooner or later reclaim the power to rule in his own right. After the heroine returns to court, he once again wins her sympathy by pretending to be harmless, weak, and pitiful. And so, he draws her into a turbulent political whirlpool. She intentionally or unintentionally uses her breathtaking, bewitching beauty to drive wedges between powerful ministers and disrupt the political balance, paving the way for the hero to reclaim his power. As the story twists and turns, she gradually sees her own heart clearly and comes to feel the depth of the hero’s love for her.
Written with care, very beautiful
