On the winter solstice, Jiang Yan, a spirited general's daughter, meets Pei Zhen, the cool and taciturn Fifth Princess.
At first glance, Jiang Yan seems to be the one taking the initiative, but in truth, the princess with her beguiling ways has her firmly wrapped around her finger.
A historical GL romance with a growth-focused story and a slow start.
From battlefields to court intrigue, childhood friends grow into partners standing side by side at court. There is some bittersweetness, but no endless push and pull: no misunderstandings, no third parties, and no angst for angst's sake. A happy ending.
Bonus: One fascinating character from the secondary couple will make a grand entrance in Chapter 18.
Theme: A story about the growth of two female leads. I absolutely adore battle-worn, devoted puppy-dog lovers and cool, love-struck older sisters! Making a whole pot of dumplings just to go with one dish of vinegar.
I just realized today that someone actually put the book on the bookshelf!! Thank you to this wonderful man whom I have never met before😍
