May I Cross in Peace

Switched Identities | Past and Present | Political Intrigue and Military Strategy | Duty to Country and Family

The favored child of heaven bows to love; the little white rabbit trains her dog.

After a crushing defeat, Fifth Princess Xiao Yunqing catches the eye of an enemy nation and is forced into a political marriage.

Yunqing is the emperor's most cherished daughter. The entire court begs His Majesty to give her up, while only one person risks death to urge him to fight.

The newly risen General Ling Ye comes from humble beginnings. He was once Fifth Princess's personal guard and earned her deep trust.

Only Yunqing knows that in her previous life she was no princess, but the daughter of the disgraced general Yun. Drawn into court politics by the Ninth Prince, Prince Ling, she ultimately died saving him.

That day, snow stretched endlessly around them. Prince Ling rode with her on the same horse and asked hoarsely from behind her, "Do you hate me?"

Yunqing was barely breathing, but she smiled.

What could she hate him for? For pushing her away again and again whenever danger threatened, or for planning a way for her to survive before he died...?

In the end, she was the one who had fallen too deeply in love, risking her life to save him.

She gazed north, toward the homeland lost to the enemy after her father's army was defeated. "If one day Great Liang reclaims the northern frontier, take me back to Linyan."

Her attachment was so strong that even after death, her lonely spirit could not find rest. She watched with her own eyes as Prince Ling fought for ten years, reclaiming the lost territory in a river of blood and fulfilling her last wish.

Then she saw him climb three thousand steps, kneel before the Buddha, and pray that in their next lives they might exchange fates, so he could give her a life of peace and safety.

A serious illness woke Yunqing, and her soul returned to this life. Along with the report of victory came the news of Ling Ye's death.

*

Yunqing truly did hate him. She hated that in both lives he had been so proud and conceited, preferring to die alone rather than let her face danger with him.

But later, when someone pushed her from the city wall, she saw him leap after her like a madman, clamping a hand around her wrist as he dangled in the wind and snow, supported only by his injured arm...

Suddenly, she understood the choices he had made in both lives.

At that moment, she wanted to die in his place and let him live.

Childhood sweethearts | Rekindled love | The moon shines high, yet resents only me | Clearing an old case

Compassionate heart x Demonic command

Huan Zhao, the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Tai, is aloof and pure, exceptionally talented, and the moon of many noble young men's hearts, though none dare dream of her.

No one knows that one person has pursued her relentlessly since childhood.

Qin Yanxue, eldest grandson of the veteran Southern Defender General, is supremely gifted and unruly.

At six, he gave her the Qin family's special military command token. At ten, he climbed over the wall into her courtyard and performed spear dances for her. At fourteen, he took her wandering through apricot groves, then held her hand beneath the moonlight. "When my father returns from the battlefield, I'll ask him to come propose to you!"

But that campaign ended in a mysterious defeat. Forty thousand troops vanished without a trace, and not one of the three Qin generals survived.

Draped in mourning, Qin Yanxue left without a word. Several long letters Huan Zhao sent to the border brought a brief note in reply three years later:

We were young then. It was all in jest.

Not long after, the Grand Duke of Tai was convicted over the army's supervision, and the emperor issued an edict granting Huan Zhao in marriage to Prince Yin.

*

Years later, they met again at a palace banquet. The young general had returned victorious, stern and unapproachable, yet his brows trembled when he saw her.

Following their relative ranks, he called her, "Aunt."

At Prince Yin's side, Huan Zhao replied, "I am promised to someone now. You should call me Princess Consort, nephew."

Later, as she sought to uncover the truth behind her father's death and avenge the wrongs in her heart, she mocked and humiliated him time and again. Just as he had that day, he endured it all without a word.

Huan Zhao thought he must no longer have any feelings for her. How else could he be so indifferent?

Until the clues were uncovered one by one, the secrets behind the Qin family's defeat came to light, and the Huan family's hidden truth was exposed. The loyal bones of forty thousand Southern Defender troops finally returned home. Yet it was he who came through the snow, shouldering her guilt and stepping into a deadly trap in her place.

Huan Zhao once asked him why.

Separated by a bloodstained prison door, the young marquis and general who had once commanded a mighty army was now a shackled prisoner. Qin Yanxue managed a rare smile and called her by her childhood name: "Jiaojiao."

"You and I are not the same."

After years of slaughter on the battlefield, my hands are stained with blood.

I only wish for you to remain pure and blameless, just as you were back then.
