May Peace Reign as the Azure Wolf Rises

[World-weary, aloof princess Jing Sui’an X Loyal prairie war god Heluna Shuo]

[Two strong leads, coming-of-age heroine, marriage alliance with the grasslands, arranged marriage to love, secret crush becomes mutual, saving each other]

A blessed child at six, a bringer of disaster at eleven.

Jing Sui’an barely survived for years in the imperial palace. She lived without a trace of humanity, driven only by the obsession in her heart: revenge.

Later, her uncle forced her into a bridal sedan and sent her to the grasslands to marry for political peace.

On the day of the wedding, her dowry was stolen, her “husband” shut her out, and she was left to the bloodthirsty war god of the grasslands.

Everyone laughed at her. “Isn’t that the noble Princess of Jizhou? What a disgrace.”

Jing Sui’an: “Whatever. It doesn’t matter who I marry.”

On their wedding night, she threatened to kill herself until she secured the right to negotiate with the war god of the grasslands.

Jing Sui’an: “If we’re both going to be someone’s blade, why can’t I be the one in your hand?”

No one knew that this seemingly fragile princess was the owner of the largest merchant caravan on the grasslands.

She planned every move carefully, treating everyone as a chess piece.

But she alone failed to notice that he had never looked at her with calculation. He looked at her as if he were reuniting with someone he had waited seven years to see.

He bore a blood feud, yet placed his sincere heart before her. “Use me. As long as I can stay by your side.”

Later, she calculated the fate of the entire world but failed to account for one thing: he had never been her chess piece. He was the place she belonged.

“Sui’an, you use me, and I’ve secretly loved you. We both get what we want, so I’m not losing out.”

Jing Sui’an confessed, “Who said all I feel for you is a desire to use you?”

[Reading guide]

1. A serious story, with politics and romance given equal weight. The early chapters focus more on laying the groundwork for the schemes and building tension between the leads; it doesn’t follow the usual fast-paced wish-fulfillment rhythm.

2. The heroine is focused on her ambitions: country first, family second. She falls for him in the middle or later part of the story. The hero loves her unwaveringly from beginning to end. Both leads have no prior partners, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

3. For readers who enjoy watching a heroine make her moves one by one after being backed into a corner, and savoring a story of mutual healing.

Theme: Break free from the cage. Women should be as free as the wind.
