A truly wicked man, an iron-blooded warlord & a courageous, resourceful princess sent away for a political marriage. Both leads are each other's first and only!
Chu Jingyu once believed that childhood sweethearts who fell in love young would stay together for life.
Lin Weixu, the dashing young general, was the tenderest dream in her heart.
That year, beneath the snowy mountain, Lin Weixu planted a hundred acres of plum blossoms for her.
He said, “Jingyu, once I've earned great military honors, I'll ask His Majesty for your hand.”
She smiled like a flower, believing her whole life was settled.
He taught her to draw a bow. Wherever her arrow pointed, he said, was where his heart wished to go. She believed the arrowhead would one day point toward their wedding candles.
Until the flames of war between the two countries reached the border, and an imperial decree ordering her to marry into the enemy nation shattered all her dreams.
Yan Xuanrong, the enemy nation's ruthless and notoriously vicious Prince Huanwu, named her as his choice during the peace negotiations at court.
She went from the most honored princess of Chu to the most dazzling entry in Yan Xuanrong's list of spoils of war.
On their wedding night, she resisted and knocked off her phoenix coronet. He only smiled as he picked it up.
“This prince has a whole lifetime to get to know you, slowly.”
Her heart was dead, but she didn't know that this man had already carved her into his very bones.
She was the uncontrollable passion amid his painstaking schemes, the gentle space left open in his ruthless decisions.
He kept her in a gilded cage, while she hid her beloved in her heart. They tormented each other.
He knew nothing of romance and could only approach her in the clumsiest ways: letting her wield power and protecting her from harm.
From suspicion and distance to fighting side by side, ruling the land together, and entrusting their lives to each other, he gave her the most profound love and planted the deepest pain.
When the regrets of childhood sweethearts meet the burning passion of a forced marriage.
When national interests stir the waters once more, what will she choose, caught between her former lover and her husband now?
Homeward, homeward: the mountains and rivers remain, but everything else has changed.
This time, she is no longer a pawn being chosen. She is the one moving the pieces.
【Content notes】
1. The male and female leads remain each other's first and only for life! The BE ending means the male lead dies for the heroine, while she lives on bravely. Seven parts sweet, three parts angst.

The characters' actions and beliefs reflect the limitations of their era and do not represent the author's personal views.

Theme: The world may not go as we wish, but we must still live with passion
Xuan Rong: Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle [Continue] Emperor Chu: Bet on your kid's future [Sofa]
Xuan Qin reluctantly traveled all the way to Chu State to ask for Jing Yu's hand in marriage, which led him to find Wang Wan in Chu State. Lin Weixu loves Jing Yu, and what he did inadvertently caused the gears of fate to turn, allowing Xuan Rong to find Jing Yu. Lin Weixu's identity was destined to be the consort, but instead he became Jing Shu's consort. The mystery of fate will always help you find the person you are destined for.
From the moment Emperor Yan avenged his son and the war between Yan and Chu began, Xuan Qin was destined not to go back. Otherwise, the two countries had to pay the price for fighting so fiercely. The result was a mistake, and neither side would let it go, so he was dead when he was alive, and alive when he was dead.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival [red heart]
If fate throws you to the bottom, it will also throw you high.
The first official meeting, Xuanrong: Hello, wifey [loving eyes], Jingyu: Who is your wife [eh~]
The boss writes well and we are destined to meet each other [Qingxin]
Woo woo, I can't see what Dada said [holding my chin]
I returned it again [Goutou] If you want to choose a name that caters to the market, you can use a template. I feel that many ancient book titles are: xxx (the heroine's identity) xxx (what she did), then xxx (the male protagonist's design or identity) xxx (what she did). After putting / with xxx (the male protagonist's setting/identity) xxxx (what he did). This is quite common, but I actually think the original name is quite nice (but it may not cater to the market so much, and the clicks will be smaller)
The market is not named like this. Damn, this name is so constricting... [Changed]
