[Radiant, Bold, Sunshine Princess x Sickly, Obsessive, Beautiful and Tragic Hostage Prince]
(1)
Feng Qing, princess of the Southern Kingdom, was born under a dire prophecy: she was ill-fated and would not live to see twenty.
Feng Qing: If I'm not going to live past twenty anyway, I might as well do whatever makes me happy.
When she was sixteen, she rescued Wen Bie, a hostage prince from the Northern Kingdom, from the snow.
The young man was stunningly handsome, but had been sickly since birth, beyond the reach of medicine. Step by step, she pulled him back from the gates of death, until at last she saw her reflection in his indifferent eyes.
She thought that even if she only lived to twenty, her life would still have been worth it.
But later, she had a very long dream.
On her twentieth birthday, the young man wore the imperial robes, while she lay in the snow, fulfilling the prophecy.
As she lay dying, she saw another woman in resplendent attire standing beside the young emperor.
The young man's eyes were indifferent, his voice cold. "How can someone who's about to die claim to have sincere feelings?"
When she opened her eyes again, Feng Qing decided to stop being so kind.
If she had given her heart to the wrong person, then this time she wouldn't be a stepping stone on his path to the throne.
But why, when she stopped looking for him, did he come to her on his own?

Wen Bie, the sickly second prince of Northern Qi, was sent to the Southern Kingdom as a pawn meant to die.
He thought he was destined to waste away amid the smell of medicine, until a girl in red came riding toward him, a ray of sunshine breaking through the gloom.
At first, he thought the princess had only taken an interest in him on a whim. He even thought she might be his only chance to return to Northern Qi.
But he never expected to fall for her first. Even less did he expect that one day, he would fear her prophecy more than his own illness.
In search of a way to reverse life and death, he struck a deal with a disciple of Duanyun Peak, each seeking what they needed.
But in the end, he was too late.
On the day of his coronation, the woman in red fell into the snow and never opened her eyes again.
Later, the history books recorded that the new emperor of Northern Qi turned white-haired overnight. Though he had never believed in gods or Buddhas, he climbed Duanyun Peak on his knees, seeking a way to reverse life and death.
The sage lowered his eyes and asked, "Would you trade your life for her rebirth?"
He raised his head, his voice hoarse. "I only want her to live well."
Reborn into another life, he saw the girl in red riding toward him once more, smiling just as she had before. "Your name is Wen Bie? Come with me."
This time, he would never let go of her hand.
