The Princess Consort Returns

[The Piece on the Board · Prelude] A flower on a leaf blooms in delicate beauty. Karma is settled, and it falls in haste. At the gate of reincarnation, no one remembers that autumn when red leaves covered the mountains. A game within a game, for whom is it laid? A dream within a dream, one song misleads this life. The strings snap, the fingers grow cold, and at last the sleeper awakes. Blossoms drift through fine rain, and once again the wild geese arrive for the first time. “Revenge is right, and yet it is wrong, too. I made those who wronged me suffer the fate they deserved, but in the end I realized that none of it meant much to me anymore. With this short, limited time, I would rather... rather run away with that person, travel together until old age, and hear him call to me once more...” The world is a game of chess, and people are pieces on the board. Each step forms a game, and each step enters one. A carefully planned game, yet who could have known it was already part of someone else's game? But when did the one who set it up become part of the game, too? This book is now available for purchase from Dangdang, Joyo, JD.com, and Taobao. Thank you for your support!
