Three Lifetimes of Pure Affection: The Mongolian Princess

Song of Longing A flute's mournful melody speaks of sorrow, yet cannot voice the pain within. Flowers bloom and fade, clouds gather and drift. Who is there to share their beauty? Every word is full of love, but there's no one to tell. Only in solitude can I secretly shed tears of longing. I gaze across the garden in spring, yet cannot hold back the loneliness in my heart. Joy and sorrow, partings and reunions, waxing and waning moons. I knew from the start that nothing could be perfect. I drown my sorrows in strong liquor, hoping to get drunk, but once it enters my sorrowful heart, it turns to tears of longing. Longing endures, and so does remembrance. Better than longing from afar is staying together. If I'd known this would bind my heart so, I'd rather we had never met in this life. Longing endures, and so does remembrance. Remembering you cannot bring us together. Scenes from the past rise before my eyes, bringing only deeper loneliness and melancholy. I composed this song of longing for you, not caring whether we are together when it ends. Three Lifetimes of Pure Romance: The Mongolian Princess: A headstrong, lovable, free-spirited Mongolian princess in the Qing Dynasty would rather enter the imperial harem to pursue true love, becoming entangled with the emperor and several princes. Whether in love or not, where will her heart ultimately belong... There's a line from a poem I remember: "I knew nothing of longing in my life. Once I learned what it was, I fell into its grip." Before meeting Yinreng, Chenxi had never known what longing was. It was only when Yinreng appeared that she truly understood the feeling. But the person in his heart was Irgen Gioro Yuzhen, not her. What could she do to make him fall in love with her? Would he be moved by her? Chenxi had no answers to these questions. But if she left now, she truly didn't know whether she could ever return. Perhaps her fate with Yinreng would end here. Maybe this was destiny: "Fated to meet, but not to reunite; fated to fall in love, but not to stay together; fated to make a promise, but not to keep it. May we still remember each other, even at the ends of the earth." Chenxi pondered for a long time before slowly removing the dragon bangle from the pair of white jade bangles on her right hand and slipping it onto Yinreng's hand. "This was left to me by the Grand Empress Dowager. It was meant for two people in love. Now the dragon bangle is yours, and the phoenix bangle is mine. Let's make a promise for three years. If you still think of me after three years, bring the emperor's decree to Balin and marry me." Yinreng clasped the hand wearing Chenxi's jade bangle tightly. "Believe me, you're the only one I love. No one can change that. Three years, then. I'll wait for you. In three years, wear your wedding dress and wait for me to come marry you." The Mongolian Princess is the first part of the Three Lifetimes of Pure Romance series. There is no struggle among the Nine Princes for the throne. It is a complete love story, as well as a setup for the middle and final parts. A Qing palace story, no transmigration. I hope you enjoy it!!! Theme:
