When the Lights First Shine

Quirky and clever heroine x gentle, calculating hero

Her perspective:

In early spring, Han Luoning was sent to Shangjing.

By imperial decree, she became the wife of Prince Yu.

At their first meeting, she felt that Prince Yu looked strangely familiar.

They say Prince Yu is cold and hard to get along with?

What a load of nonsense!

He always gives her whatever she asks for, and when trouble comes, he even lets her throw his weight around.

Who says he's hard to get along with? He's practically the model husband.

She's about to fall in love with him!

His perspective:

In Huaxian, Jiang Ye was gravely wounded and rescued by a woman. He could never forget her.

After returning to the capital, the woman he'd longed for day and night turned out to be his wife.

It was a match made in heaven!

Who says arranged marriages are bad? This one couldn't be better!

Another Shangyuan Festival night comes around.

Moonlight flows like water, and stars sparkle across the sky.

He says, "You are the clear sunshine of my spring."

She says, "May you live for thousands of years, and may every year bring you spring."
