A long historical novel in an imagined setting, with a slow build and an ensemble cast. This story is entirely fictional.
[Two strong leads + Marriage Before Love + Passionate Tragedy + Revenge + Love and Hate + Ancient Political Intrigue + Court Power Struggles + Noble Family Rivalries]
In the twenty-sixth year of Yong'an under the Daye dynasty, heavy snow blanketed Jingluo.
Xiao Jingchen, the ninth prince abandoned by the imperial family for ten years, returned in triumph with the Beiting army through the snow.
Everyone said he was an imperial castoff, unloved by his father and unprotected by his mother, a useless pawn the court could manipulate at will.
No one knew that ten years of wind and sand had tempered him into a hidden, keen blade. He had endured and bided his time, waiting for the winds to rise so he could overturn the world.
But amid struggles for imperial power and the balancing of the maternal clans, an edict of betrothal came crashing down. He was to marry Lin Jing'er, daughter of the powerful Duke of Chu.
Born into a noble family and raised in a whirlpool of power, she was perceptive and composed, keeping her sharp thoughts hidden. After being manipulated and dragged into her family's schemes, she saw through the coldness behind the vermilion gates, yet always kept her heart clear.
A love from their past was torn apart, and neither had a choice in this marriage. A single marriage contract trapped two shackled souls within the Prince of Qi's residence.
The author's writing is very good. I hope the author will keep updating it. Everyone is very vivid. There are a lot of words in the update, but the current plot makes me feel heartbroken🥺. I hope there will be some favorable changes between men and women.
Nice!!! The male and female protagonists have gone through various calculations, and gradually become stronger step by step through ups and downs. At a glance, you can tell that the two people have the same views, support each other, and work together to advance together. This novel is beautiful!!! Author, please write [Salute] [I also strongly recommend] [Add one to the bookshelf]
The author's writing is still very good. Some of the scenes are deeply rooted in people's hearts and are quite immersive. I just want to see the story between the male and female protagonists😘. The early plot development feels a bit slow and the writing is very detailed.
