One has an ageless face from feudal times; the other is a good kid born in the spring breeze and raised under the red flag.
Cheng Lang, a low-ranking civil servant at the China Merchants Bureau, can't make sense of how he could have fallen for the favored concubine of the last emperor!
As for Zhen Fei, fate keeps asking you the same questions, hoping you'll give different answers.
Her emperor abandoned her. But what about Cheng Lang?
What about this man, born into the prosperous age she always wished for, and raised in peacetime?
Will their story have a different ending?
A note from the author: When I was little, I once had a strange dream after reading a picture book. I'm writing it down now just to express what's in my heart, so I don't mind if some parts don't quite make sense. After all, it was all the doing of a kid in their teens, right? Please go easy on me, and be kind in the comments too. If you don't like it, don't read it. If you do, read more.
A short story. Add it to your bookshelf.
Don't leave early. The mystery is revealed around chapter 40.
It's very beautiful, hahahahahahaha, author, where is your hometown? I read the taste of fellow countrymen (Dear friends, I am joking.)
